Professor Krzysztof Koziol

Chief Scientific Officer

Over the past 20 years Professor Koziol has pioneered the development, implementation and manufacturing of carbon-based nanomaterials, with specific focus on graphene. He has authored 16 patents, including those fundamental to Levidian’s success to date.

He holds a Chair in Composites Engineering at Cranfield University, leading a unique team of scientists and engineers; he is currently overseeing more than 60 projects across advanced materials design, materials science, polymers, composites materials, composites manufacture, process control and material/structure performance.

His work has seen him lead EU programs on new-generation, lightweight, high-performance electric conductors, poised to replace copper and aluminium. He has developed novel functional carbon nanomaterials and multifunctional composite structures. He has also been responsible for the progression of BEIS funded, large-scale manufacture of sustainable hydrogen.

Professor Koziol was previously the head of Electric Carbon Nanomaterials Research Laboratory at the Department of Materials Science and Metallurgy, at University of Cambridge. He is also a Fellow and director of studies at Pembroke College. Throughout his career he has graduated 18 PhD students and published over 150 journal papers.
