| Prof. Wojciech Bujalski, Warsaw University of TechnologyThe position of Director of the Institute of Heat EngineeringWojciech Bujalski, Ph.D., Prof. of the university, has been working for more than 20 years at the Institute of Thermal Technology at the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology. He holds the position of Director of the Institute of Heat Engineering. He is secretary of the Committee on Research Problems of the Polish Academy of Sciences. His output includes more than 70 scientific publications of national and international scope. He has extensive scientific experience. He has managed or participated in more than 11 projects funded by science. He has worked with the industrial community for many years. He has led or executed more than 50 works commissioned by industry. His achievements include five years of work at the Capital District Heating Company. His scientific achievements were recognised when he received the Siemens Scientific Award for his work on developing energy storage technologies. His scientific interests are mainly focused on optimising energy technology systems, particularly district heating systems. A significant part of the research concerns issues of heat and cold storage. In recognition of these achievements, Prof. Bujalski was awarded the Siemens Research Prize for his thesis entitled: "Development and Implementation of a Scientific Basis for the Design and Optimisation of the Control of Heat Accumulators in District Heating Systems", in which Prof. Bujalski was one of three authors. Another topic is economic issues in the energy industry. He expanded his knowledge in this field with a postgraduate course in Capital Investments and Company Development Projects at the Warsaw School of Economics. His scientific interests currently include issues related to distributed energy, particularly in district heating, Smart City and Smart Energy Systems. |
