Topic of presentation: Optimum design with regard to structural stiffness and material anisotropy
Grzegorz Dzierżanowski is an associate professor at Warsaw University of Technology. His research focuses on the mathematical and computational modelling of multi-component composite materials. The main concern is with optimizing the microscopic layout of components aimed at producing composites with desirable physical properties such as mechanical strength or heat transfer, among others. He also investigates the bounds on such properties, i.e., the range of improvement that can be achieved by adjusting the microstructural pattern of a composite.
Dr. Dzierżanowski obtained his PhD in 2004 for the thesis on Optimal layout of materials in two-dimensional elastic structures and Habilitation in 2013 for the work entitled Optimization of local constitutive properties of elastic structures.
