Łukasz Bratasz graduated in physics from the Jagiellonian University in Krakow, Poland in 1996, and earned his PhD from the same university in 2002. In the same year, he joined the staff of the Jerzy Haber Institute of Catalysis and Surface Chemistry, Polish Academy of Sciences (ICSC PAS). For many years, he headed the Laboratory for the Analysis and Non-Destructive Testing of Artefacts at the National Museum in Kraków. He was the head of the Sustainable Conservation Lab at the Institute for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage, Yale University, in 2015-2018. Currently he is head of the Cultural Heritage Research group at the Jerzy Haber Institute. His research interests focus on preservation of cultural heritage, microclimatic monitoring, analysis of structural response of materials to changes in environmental parameters, computer modelling of environmentally induced physical damage, non-invasive testing of historical objects, especially using acoustic emission, environmental control, risk assessment and energy efficiency in museums and historic buildings. His research and work as a consultant focus on the environmentally induced degradation of cultural heritage materials, risk assessment and design of sustainable methods of collection care, especially energy efficient strategies for climate control. He has taken part or coordinated 31 national and international research projects in the field of cultural heritage.
Research interests:
Heritage science, preventive conservation, environmentally degradation of heritage objects, cracking of paintings.
