RESEARCH TEAM
dr inż. Łukasz Breńkacz
Performs 3D designs of rotating machinery and dynamic and strength calculations. Deals with machine analysis, uses numerical methods (Finite Element Method) and conducts experimental research. Works on problems related to rotor dynamics and the selection of bearings for high-speed energy turbines. Research conducted by him concerns hydrodynamic, gas, rolling and foil bearings. He is a SIMP expert and the author or coauthor of several expert opinions prepared for industry. He is also the author of more than 60 scientific publications (including a book published by Wiley) and an invention patent. He teaches subjects: Machine Design (lectures) and Engineering Graphics (lectures and laboratories) at WSB. He has taken part in nine research projects, and in two of them as a leader.

dr inż. Paweł Bagiński
Develops and manufactures new innovative designs. From the initial concept and documentation to the final product. Most often they concern shafts, bodies, test rigs, foil bearings, etc. Conducts experimental research, including vibration analysis (FFT), condition assessment of gears and bearings and thermographic measurements. Also performs numerical
calculations such as strength analyses, FSI (Fluid-Structure Interaction) analyses and optimisation analyses.

He has experience with automation systems such as LabVIEW. He took part in several projects, in which he was involved in the development of measurement systems for micro-CHP plants.
dr inż. Natalia Szewczuk – Krypa
She holds a master's degree and an engineering degree in power engineering from the Gdańsk
University of Technology. The topic of her doctoral dissertation concerned the modelling of
measurement uncertainty using artificial neural networks and fuzzy logic algorithms.
mgr inż. Rafał Kędra
He is experienced in investigating the dynamic properties of structures. He was involved in the investigation of defects in bonded and bolted joints. He used piezoelectric sensors to study Lamb wave propagation. Dr Bartosz Puchalski has experience in automatics. His doctoral thesis was related to control using incomplete calculus.
