معرفی
Kristina Bartha, Ph.D., is a researcher at the Department of Materials Physics within the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at Charles University, Prague, specializing in titanium-based materials for biomedical applications and advanced structural engineering.
Research Focus:
- Ultrafine-grained titanium alloys processed via severe plastic deformation
- Phase transformation kinetics in β-titanium alloys
- Powder metallurgy techniques including spark plasma sintering
- Development of biocompatible titanium alloys for medical implants
Publication Trends: Her 2014-2018 publications reveal concentrated expertise in microstructure-property relationships of titanium alloys subjected to high-pressure torsion and thermal treatments. Work consistently bridges fundamental metallurgy (e.g., electrical resistance monitoring of phase changes) with biomedical applications (e.g., optimizing Ti-Nb-Ta-Zr alloys for implant strength), demonstrating interdisciplinary collaboration across materials characterization techniques.
Collaborations: Maintains active partnership with the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences on laser shock peening for surface hardening of biomedical materials.
International Engagement: Completed a six-month Erasmus research stay at Universidad Politécnica de Valencia's School of Industrial Engineering in 2014.
Academic Role: Supervises student theses and contributes to teaching activities at Charles University, with physical presence in room F131 at Ke Karlovu 5, Prague.
