Research interests
 
Dr Cizek’s research interests have been focused on the physical metallurgy of hot and cold plastic deformation, static and dynamic softening processes, solidification and solid state phase transformations in a range of ferrous and non-ferrous metallic materials.
 
He has mainly used transmission and scanning electron microscopy complemented by electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) in his research activities. His current research interest is to investigate the microstructure evolution in magnesium alloys using advanced electron microscopy techniques.
