Pawel Sikorski

About

Pawel Sikorski (1974) is a full Professor at the Department of Physics, Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU), where he is a member of the Biophysics and Medical Technology research group. His expertise lies in the fields of biomaterials, biophysics, nanoscale material characterization, and nanofabrication. In his research he uses nano- and microfabrication to create artificial cell culture substrates that are, for example, used to study cell-substrate interactions or control the structure of the engineered neuronal network. Hi is interested in developing new hydrogel-based materials and studying their properties and is experienced in using model systems to explore mineralization in biological and artificial systems. This includes cell-induced mineralization of the extracellular matrix during the development of bone tissue. His group has also pioneered a new technique to form alginate hydrogels compatible with various applications, such as 3D printing, microfluidic-based cell encapsulation, injectable preparations, and large-scale mouldable gels. Prior to his current research, Sikorski has contributed significantly to the field of polymer physics and structural studies of crystalline polymers and biopolymers.

Sikorski received his Master's degree in Materials Engineering from the Faculty of Fundamental Problems of Technology, Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, and his Ph.D. in physics from the University of Bristol, UK. After completing his doctoral studies, he worked at the University of Bristol and NTNU before establishing his research group at NTNU in 2005. He has held visiting scholar positions at the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of California, Davis, USA. Additionally, he is the leader of the Biophysics and Medical Physics Section of the Norwegian Physics Society and leads a national network that supports Ph.D. education within nanotechnology in Norway.
