Kateryna Smyrnova
Postgraduate student
Description of the field of scientific research:
Kateryna researches microstructures, mechanical and tribological properties of thin nitrides, particularly nanocomposite, multilayer, and multicomponent (high-entropy) coatings, and studies MXenes nanomaterials.
List of duties:
Kateryna is a Ph.D. student in materials science at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava. Her research focuses on protective nanostructured coatings for cutting tools, various parts operating under extreme conditions, and two-dimensional nanomaterials called MXenes.
Professional experience:
From 2017 to 2022, Kateryna worked as a junior researcher at Sumy State University, and during 2019-2020 she completed a research internship as part of the "National Scholarship Program of the Slovak Republic" project.
In 2020, Kateryna participated in the ERASMUS+ project. For 2023-2024, she received a grant from the Slovak Technical University in Bratislava as part of the program "Scholarships for excellent Ukrainian Researchers threatened by the war conflict in Ukraine."
