Tomasz Kolerski is an Associate Professor at Gdansk University of Technology, working in the Department of Civil Engineering and Transport since 01-11-2017. He has been working on ice dynamics and simulating its process implementing mathematical modelling. He has scrutinized a number of research works on ice Vistula River ice jamming and ice passage through reservoirs. He was previously a research scientist at Clarkson University from 2006 to 2010. During this period, he worked on the mathematical CRISSP2D model of ice simulation and performed studies on bed changes of the St. Clair River and ice boom on rivers and lakes. Prior to that he, was a research specialist and PhD assistant at Geoscience and Marine Research and Consulting and at the Institute of Hydro-Engineering, Polish Academy of Science, respectively. With the benefit of hindsight, Dr Tomasz appreciates his international cooperation with numerous groups, seeking for their knowledge to be applied in Polish projects of his own. Currently, he is an active member of the IAHR Committee on Ice Research and Engineering, working as the vice chair.
