Since 2003 my main research field is application of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) to the conservation science. This is a relatively new, but nevertheless well-established, technique that offers a unique possibility for determination and visualization of the inner structure of semi-transparent objects which weakly absorb and scatter light. It is non-contact, non-invasive and, most importantly, safe for the objects tested as long as the exposure is limited to a certain level [49, 62].
Specifically, our research concentrates on:
2020 –2023: IPERION HS (Integrated Platform for the European Research Infrastructure ON Heritage Science) – Participation in consortium of HORISON 2020 Framework Programme EU (129 000 Euro of the total budget 6 300 000 Euro) as a leader of Polish node, together with AHG University of Mining and Technology, Jerzy Haber Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry PAS, and University of Warsaw as linked third parties
