Zbigniew Zapalowicz received his M.Sc. degree in Mechanical Engineering (specialisation: power systems and devices) from Mechanical Faculty, Technical University of Szczecin in 1979; his Ph.D. from the Institute Fluid Flow Machinery, Gdańsk in 1989; and D.Sc. from Mechanical Faculty, Koszalin University of Technology in 2007 (with honours). Since 1980, he has been a researcher in the Department of Energy Technologies (earlier Heat Engineering), Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Mechatronics, West Pomeranian University of Technology, Szczecin (earlier Technical University of Szczecin). He currently works as a professor. His scientific interests focus on problems concerning multiphase flow (particularly on droplets structures on devices walls), RES (solar energy), and power efficiency of technical processes. He has participated in 10 national research projects, presenting results of his work at international and national conferences, and published more than 180 scientific papers in international and national journals, book chapters, as well as conference proceedings. He is also the author of two monographs. He is a member of the Committee of Thermodynamics and Combustion, Polish Academy of Sciences.
