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 are in the field of energy and environmental technology, with a focus on solar energy. His fundamental research includes transport and reactive flow phenomena, in particular radiative and coupled energy transfer and conversion in high-temperature solid–gas reactions. Prof. Lipiński's contributions primarily underpin innovations in concentrated solar thermal energy for power generation, processing of fuels and materials, environmental separations, and thermal environment control.

Prof. Lipiński is a member of the editorial boards for Solar Energy, the Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer, and Thermopedia. He is involved in several professional organisations, including the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer, the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and the Eurotherm Committee. Prof. Lipiński is a recipient of the Elsevier/JQSRT Raymond Viskanta Award (2013) and the ASME Yellott Award (2020). He is a fellow of the ASME (2021).
