Mateusz Mrukiewicz

Mateusz Mrukiewicz is an Assistant Professor at the Military University of Technology, specializing in materials engineering and liquid crystal research. He holds a PhD from the same institution (2015) and focuses on advanced materials with applications in optoelectronics and smart devices. His work integrates experimental techniques like dielectric spectroscopy with material characterization to explore phase transitions and electro-optical properties.

• Education: PhD in Materials Engineering, Military University of Technology (2015)

His research interests center on ferroelectricity in nematic phases, dual-frequency addressing in liquid crystals, and structural tuning of cholesteric materials. Key areas include molecular relaxation dynamics, dielectric anisotropy, and applications in smart windows and optical shutters.

Recent work highlights the development of electrically tunable materials for light modulation and the study of phase transition behaviors under external stimuli. His studies often combine experimental approaches with advanced analytical modeling to uncover fundamental material properties.

• Achievements: Over 35 publications, 1 promoted thesis, and a strong h-index (12/Scopus, 13/WoS). Active in projects exploring mid-wave infrared liquid crystal devices and high-birefringence mixtures.

He advises on research projects involving liquid crystal applications in laser metrology and 3D active glasses. Collaborative efforts include work on ion-doped materials and fluorinated smectics for next-generation display technologies.
