Professor Zbigniew L. Kowalewski graduated from Faculty of Mechanics, Warsaw University of Technology (1981). He received the Ph.D. and habilitation at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research of the Polish Academy of Sciences (IPPT PAN) in 1988 and 1997, respectively. In 2008 Professor Zbigniew Kowalewski was nominated by president of Poland as a full Professor in Mechanical Engineering. He was the British Council Fellow from 1992 to 1993 at the University of Manchester. Professor Zbigniew Kowalewski has been appointed at IPPT PAN since 1985, and also at the Warsaw University of Technology from 1997 to 2010. Since 2011 he has been a Head of the Department of Experimental Mechanics at IPPT PAN. From 2015 to 2019 he was the president of the Polish Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics. From 2016 he is vice-president of the European Society of Experimental Mechanics (EuraSEM). He is a member of Committee of Mechanics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. In January 2019 he was elected as the Chairman of Scientific Council of IPPT PAN. His more than 35 years’ research work experience is mainly devoted to: plasticity, creep, fatigue, experimental methods in solid mechanics, modelling of creep constitutive equations. He is an author or co-author of more than 410 papers published in well known international journals and conference proceedings, 15 books, and 9 patents.

Research interests:

experimental methods in solid mechanics, modelling of creep constitutive equations, plasticity, creep, fatigue.
