RESEARCH INTERESTS

Dr Cizek's research has largely been focused on physical metallurgy of
metallic materials, including plastic deformation, static and dynamic
recrystallization, liquid-solid and solid-solid phase transformations and
precipitation. He has been investigating various steel grades, aluminium,
magnesium and titanium alloys, nickel-based nanocrystalline materials,
composite materials, metallic glasses and shape memory alloys. Dr Cizek has
also a keen interest in implementation of modern electron microscopy and
microanalysis experimental methods for the study of metallic materials.
