Tomasz Liskiewicz
My research interests include the areas of engineering design, tribology and surface engineering. Particular expertise in damage mechanism under fretting regime. Current aims relate to exploring surface engineering experience in the area of sustainable development through research on remanufacturing processes. I have keen interest in the field of biomimetics.
