Mikołaj Rogóż, BSc

Bio

Mikołaj Rogóż is a PhD student at the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw. He conducts research in the group of dr hab. Piotr Wasylczyk, where he manufactures intelligent materials from which he creates systems powered and controlled by light. Since 2017, he has been managing the project "Powered and light-controlled floating microrobots made of intelligent elastomeric materials" implemented under the "Diamond Grant" program financed by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education. From 2019, a scholarship holder in the NCN OPUS 15 project. "Micro-scale actuation mechanisms based on photo-responsive polymers."
