**Meet the editors**

Professor Kazimierz Lejda graduated in mechanical engineering in 1971 from Cracow University of Technology where he also earned his PhD degree in internal combustion engine engineering in 1983. In 1993 he obtained a postdoctoral qualification from Kiev Institute of Vehicles and Roads (Ukraine) within automotive vehicle and combustion engine engineering. He has stayed em-

ployed in Rzeszów University of Technology since 1973; he got the chair of Department of Automotive Vehicles and Internal Combustion Engines in 1994, and was honored with professorship in 2011. His scientific interests cover development of injection systems for greening engines and improving their performances. As a member of Polish Academy of Sciences and other national and international scientific organizations he is very prolific industrial and scientific researcher. Prof Lejda has drawn up more than 350 items including 7 books. He also reveals great contribution to young scientists' and engineers' education.

Dr Paweł Woś – an assistant professor in Rzeszów University of Technology – graduated in mechanical engineering in 1995, and earned his PhD degree in combustion engine engineering in 2003. Within 2005 to 2006 he served as a post-doc fellow in Wayne State University in Detroit (USA) where he worked on advanced combustion processes in ICE. He continues the studies

with application of variable compression ratio (VCR) technology. He is an author of more than 40 papers and scientific reports.
