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 encompasses transport and reactive flow phenomena, with a focus on radiative transfer and high-temperature solid–gas reactions. His work primarily underpins developments in concentrated solar thermal power and process technology.

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