Meet the editors

Paweł Woś, PhD, DSc, associate professor at Rzeszów University of Technology, graduated in Mechanical Engineering from Rzeszów University of Technology in 1995. He earned his PhD degree in Internal Combustion Engine engineering in 2003. From 2005 to 2006, he served as a post-doc fellow at the Wayne State University in Detroit (USA) where he was involved in advanced combustion processes in ICE. Since then he continues

these studies with application of variable compression ratio (VCR) technology in combustion engines design. He serves as an Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Automotive Vehicles and Transportation Engineering in Rzeszów University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics.

Mirosław Jakubowski, PhD, assistant professor at Rzeszów University of Technology, graduated in Mechanics and Machine Design from Rzeszów University of Technology in 2003. In 2006, he completed a six-month professional internship at MSX International Engineering GmbH in Munich, Germany (mpx Entwicklung GmbH Pininfarina Gruppe). He has been trained in design team specializing in automotive components and bodies.

From 2008 to 2009, he worked as a CAD/Catia trainer at Leopard Automobile and ASSISTO. From 2005 to 2009, he continued doctoral studies on Construction and Operation of Machines at Rzeszow University of Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Aeronautics. In 2012 he earned a PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering and serves as an Assistant Professor. His main interests are automotive technology and the use of modern technologies in machine design - computer aided design and reverse engineering technologies.
