Background

PhD	Technical Sciences in Mechanics, Institute of Fluid Flow Machinery PAS, Gdansk, Poland, 2009.
MSc	Computer Mechanics, Cracow University of Technology, Cracow, Poland, 2004.

Research Interests

• Elastic wave propagation modeling using spectral element method
• Damage modeling
• Parallel GPU computation
• Signal processing and enhancement of damage visualisation for NDT and SHM
• Diagnostics & prognostics in structural health monitoring
• Mechanics of composite structures

Current Research

His scientific interests are focused on the application of the spectral element method for analysis of the propagation of elastic waves in composite structures, wave scattering by cracks, delaminations, etc. His research is closely related to the field of Structural Health Monitoring.
