Prof. dr. hab. Łukasz Marciniak Group

The research interests of Prof. Łukasz Marciniak’s group focus on the use of luminescent materials in the form of inorganic compounds doped with lanthanide and transition metal ions for the design of remote sensors of physical and chemical quantities, both for point measurements and imaging.

Research topics:

Luminescent thermometry
Luminescent manometry
Luminescent pH sensors
Luminescent optical power density sensors
Light-to-heat converters
Luminescent thermal history markers
