Mariola Buczkowska

Mariola Buczkowska is an Associate Professor at the Institute of Physics, Lodz University of Technology. Her academic career focuses on the physics of liquid crystals, particularly flexoelectric effects in nematic layers under electric fields. She employs computational physics to solve complex nonlinear differential equations derived from continuum theory.

• Member of Polish Liquid Crystal Society
• Teaches Physics, Sports Physics, and Applied Physics courses

Research Interests:
• Director field deformations in nematic liquid crystals
• Flexoelectric properties and electro-optic effects
• Numerical methods for material parameter analysis
• Applications in liquid crystal devices and display technologies

Publication Trends: Over 15 years, her work demonstrates increasing focus on flexoelectricity, asymmetric anchoring effects, and AC/DC field responses. Key themes include ionic transport, optical property modulation, and longitudinal domain formation.

Laboratory Affiliation: Conducts research at the Liquid Crystal Physics Laboratory at Lodz University of Technology, where students observe liquid crystal textures under polarizing microscopes.
