I graduated from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics of AGH in 2009. I received my PhD in 2014, and my postdoctoral degree in 2020. From 2010 to 2018, I worked as a Senior Measurement Research Specialist of the Control and Measurement Equipment and as a Senior Thermodynamic Research Specialist in the Research and Development Department of the EDF Polska SA (later PGE Energia Ciep\u0142a SA) power group. For my research and development activities, in 2017 I was the winner of the Engineering Leader Under 40 (<em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.controlengineering.pl\/liderzy-inzynierii-ponizej-czterdziestki-druga-edycja-rozstrzygnieta\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Lider In\u017cynierii poni\u017cej 40<\/strong><\/a> <\/em>) competition organized by the magazines &#8222;Control Engineering Poland&#8221; and &#8222;In\u017cynieria &amp; Utrzymanie Ruchu&#8221;. My research interests are mainly focused on the study of the efficiency of thermal-flow and combustion processes in power technologies, monitoring and modeling of the operation of power units and steam boilers, and CFD modeling. Currently I give lectures on subjects such as energy technology, thermodynamics, steam boilers, power plants and combined heat and power plants. I have authored and co-authored more than <a href=\"https:\/\/badap.agh.edu.pl\/autor\/madejski-pawel-006392\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">150<\/a> papers, including articles, chapters in books and monographs, and peer-reviewed conference proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><strong>Scientific Profile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Professional experience<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>04.2020 -: University professor, AGH University of Science and Technology, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Robotics<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>03.2018 &#8211;
