Prof. Jerzy Rojek - expert in mechanics, especially in numerical methods for analysis of nonlinear problems in mechanics of continuous and discrete media. In 1985 he graduated from the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology, he received his PhD in 1993 and habilitation in 2008 at the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences (IPPT PAN).
In 1993-1996 he was a postdoctoral researcher at the International Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE) in Barcelona, in 2009-2012 a visiting professor at the Graz University of Technology. Employed at IPPT since 1996, at present he is the head of the Division of Computational Methods in Nonlinear Mechanics in the Department of Information and Computational Science. Since 2014 he is the Deputy Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Fundamental Technological Research, Polish Academy of Sciences. |

His main scientific interests comprise new formulations of the finite and discrete element methods and their application to modelling of materials at various scales, contact mechanics, structural dynamics and coupled problems. Practical applications of developed models and computer programs include powder metallurgy, sheet metal forming and geomechanics. Prof. Rojek was a principal investigator and coordinator of several national and international research projects. |
