Robert Bogdanowicz (born 1976) received his Ph.D. degree with honours in Electronics from the Gdansk University of Technology in 2009. He worked as a post-doc researcher in Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald–Institut für Physik in 2010 and 2011. He has initiated optical emission imaging of muti-magnetron pulsed plasma and contributed to the development of antibacterial implant coatings deposited by high-power impulse magnetron sputtering. He moved back to the Gdansk University of Technology in 2011, as an assistant professor in the Department of Metrology and Optoelectronics. His current domains of interest include selective CVD diamond growth and nanocrystalline diamond doping for environmental and biochemical nanosensors. He is the head of research group and member of the board operating within Advanced Technologies Centre "Pomerania", created in the framework of the Operational Programme for the development of innovative companies. Certified manager IPMA (D) and took part in the first edition of the Top 500 Innovators (Stanford University). In 2011-2015, he was the manager of programs LEADER NCBiR and Sonata NCN. In 2015 he held a scholarship Fulbright Senior Scholar Program at the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) in the group of prof. William Goddard (Materials and Process Simulation Center) working on hybrid 3D diamond structures.
