After a researcher position, he started as a post doc in the nanotechnology group at UiB and was given the opportunity to pursue his interests in novel materials, build his own instrumentation and develop ideas of \u200b\u200bsynthesizing diamond coatings on various surfaces at low temperatures.\u00a0The year 2022 was a good year for Zalieckas who was also awarded a prestigious ERC Starting Grant at about the same time as he was informed that he would win a TMS Starting Grant from the Trond Mohn Foundation. Zalieckas has therefore been given 6 years to carry out his TMS Starting Grant, which will focus more on applications for the new technology: Diamond is considered an ideal coating for medical implants as the body tolerates it better than the materials used today. Until now, it was only possible to use the diamond coating on smaller implants for example in dental practice, while it has not yet been possible to use it on, for example, hip prostheses. The techniques that Justas Zalieckas will develop during the project period hold therefore many possibilities.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"header left  \"><h2 class=\"font-size-sm\" title=\"Read more\">Read more<\/h2><\/div><div class=\"external-links-container light-brown\"><ul class=\"external-links\"><li class=\"inner-item\"><i class=\"fa fa-external-link\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uib.no\/en\/matnat\/158416\/tms-starting-grant-awarded-justas-zalieckas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">UiB website about the award<\/a><span class=\"description\">Justas Zalieckas receives a Starting Grant from the Trond Mohn Foundation<\/span><span class=\"date\">02.12.2022<\/span><\/li><\/ul><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/4&#8243;]\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"standard-image left no-caption\">\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1280\" src=\"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-1920x1280.jpg\" class=\"attachment-img-xxl size-img-xxl\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-1920x1280.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-420x280.jpg 420w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-576x384.jpg 576w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-992x661.jpg 992w, https:\/\/mohnfoundation.no\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/rsz_justas_nettside_om_prosjektet-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/figure><div class=\"external-links-container blue-arrow-right\"><ul class=\"external-links\"><li class=\"inner-item\"><i class=\"fa fa-external-link\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.uib.no\/en\/persons\/Justas.Zalieckas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Homepage at the University of Bergen<\/a><\/li><li class=\"inner-item\"><i class=\"fa fa-external-link\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/zalieckaslab.org\/funding\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Project website<\/a><\/li><li class=\"inner-item\"><i class=\"fa fa-external-link\"><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/wo.cristin.no\/as\/WebObjects\/cristin.woa\/13\/wa\/personVis?type=PERSON&amp;bruker=jza084&amp;la=en&amp;instnr=184\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Publikations recorded in CRIStin<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"spacer-f4de40bb4e7b53dd110c90e1adcadb9a23\" style=\"\"><\/div><style>@media (min-width: 320px) { .spacer-f4de40bb4e7b53dd110c90e1adcadb9a23{ height: 30px;}}@media (min-width: 767px) { .spacer-f4de40bb4e7b53dd110c90e1adcadb9a23{ height: 30px;}}@media (min-width: 979px) { .spacer-f4de40bb4e7b53dd110c90e1adcadb9a23{ height: 60px;}}@media (min-width: 1200px) { .spacer-f4de40bb4e7b53dd110c90e1adcadb9a23{ height: 60px;}}<\/style>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Justas Zalieckas is a researcher at UiB&#8217;s Department of Physics and Technology and leads the TMS Starting Grant project &#8220;3D Diamond Growth on medical implants&#8221;.
