Dr. Norbert Sieczkiewicz
My passion is welding engineering. I am a skilled researcher in the following areas: data acquisition and analysis, sensors, AI tools, quality assurance, welding, 3D printing, composites and optical metrology.
I have always had a strong interest in learning about new topics always begin with a literature review. I feel extremely comfortable when researching new material and enjoy all aspects of learning.
I am also passionate about solving puzzles with unorthodox solutions.

Interests
Apart from being a welding engineer, I enjoy most of my time being outdoors. In the winter, I am a hot-chocolate taster and a novice ice skater. During the warmer months, I enjoy outdoor swimming, hiking, and city walking tours.
When forced indoors, I follow a number of sci-fi and fantasy genre movies, books and games, I am an aspiring digital artist, and I spend a large amount of my free time exploring the latest technology advancements in the engineering world.
