Department of Functional Materials Engineering was established on the 1st of September 2023 from the Laboratory of Functional Materials, which was a faculty unit of the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunication and Informatics appointed by the Rector of Gdańsk University of Technology on 21/02/2018 to carry out research projects related to the development of electronic and biomedical materials technology. In the research interests of the laboratory are gas sensors, fuel cells, electrolysers, gas separation membranes and materials for biomedical applications. We are especially interested in development of cost effective technologies (spin coating, spray pyrolysis, dip coating), which utilize metallo-organic polymers. Thin and thick, dense and porous, functional layers can be fabricated using those technologies. The Laboratory of Functional Materials was founded on the achievements of the Laboratory for Electroceramic Technologies and Devices, which had no formal authority in the structures of the Gdańsk University of Technology.
Head of the Department: Prof. DSc Eng. Piotr Jasiński, 1.09.2023-currently.
Deputy Head of the Department: DSc Eng. Sebastian Molin, 1.09.2023-currently.
