Zofia G Niemczura is a Metallurgical Engineer granted with PhD and DSc degrees in Physical Metallurgy from Technical University, Poznan, PL, and from Academy of Mining and Metallurgy (AGH), Krakow, Pl. As a Professor at TU Poznan, she was focused on microstructure-property relationship, phase transformation in steels, heat resistant alloys and failure analysis, which resulted in 36 publications and 2 books. She worked later as a Researcher and Visiting Professor in University of IL at Chicago and ultimately accepted a Researcher Position in Arcelor Mittal LLC Global R&D, East Chicago, USA. Her main technical focus in recent years was: Heat resistant alloy deterioration mechanism and prevention, tool steel, alloy selection and evaluation, failure analysis of manufacturing equipment and defects in steel sheets. She has been granted two USA patents and has published student textbook on Mechanical Metallurgy for UIC students plus several additional papers in the journals and conference proceedings. She is also recipient of various recognitions during her carrier in Poland and in USA.
