Rafał Rubach Ph.D Eng.

A graduate of the Materials Engineering program at the Faculty of Metallurgical Engineering and Industrial Computer Science at the Stanisław Staszic University of Science and Technology in Kraków. In 2026, he earned a Ph.D. in Engineering and Technical Sciences from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics at the West Pomeranian University of Technology (ZUT) in Szczecin, conducting research on the sintering conditions using the SPS method for titanium powders and nc-Mo_xTi_{1 -x}C to produce composites with high resistance to wear, brittle fracture, and corrosion.

He began his professional career in 2016 as a laboratory technician at the Metal Forming Institute in Poznań, actively participating in numerous R&D projects, which allowed him to gain valuable experience. Currently, as the head of the Laboratory for Heat Treatment and Metrology  at the Centre for Laboratory Testing, he is responsible for managing activities related to the heat treatment and thermochemical treatment of metallic materials, as well as conventional powder metallurgy, the calibration of electric thermometers, 3D scanning, and metrology.
His key responsibilities include coordinating commercial services, ensuring the smooth operation of the laboratory, and supporting the development of the Institute’s research activities.

In his work, he values reliability and a practical approach to problem-solving.
