Wojciech Lipiński

Wojciech Lipiński is a professor at the Cyprus Institute. He received his Master of Science degree in Environmental Engineering from Warsaw University of Technology (2000), doctorate in Mechanical and Process Engineering from ETH Zurich (2004), and habilitation in Energy Technology from ETH Zurich (2009). He previously held academic positions at ETH Zurich (2004–2009), the University of Minnesota (2009–2013), and the Australian National University (2013–2021).

Prof. Lipiński's research interests span optical, thermal and chemical aspects of solar energy science and engineering. His basic research focuses on advancing the understanding of transport and reactive flow phenomena in high-temperature systems featuring physical and chemical transformations. Prof. Lipiński's work primarily underpins developments in concentrated solar energy for power generation, processing of fuels and materials, environmental separations, and thermal management of the built environment.

Prof. Lipiński is serving on editorial boards of Solar Energy and the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer. He is involved in the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and the Eurotherm Committee.
