Adam Figiel

Adam Figiel is an Associate Professor and Head of the Institute of Agricultural Engineering at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Technology, Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences, specializing in agrophysics and mechanical engineering with a focus on agricultural product processing.

His academic qualifications include:

• Doctorate in Agricultural Sciences (1997) for thesis on humidity effects on faba bean seed rheology
• Habilitation (2010) for research on microwave-vacuum drying kinetics and plant product quality
• Professorship title awarded in Agricultural Sciences (2016) by presidential nomination

His research integrates mechanical engineering principles with agricultural science, particularly investigating microwave-vacuum drying methodologies, rheological properties of seeds under variable humidity, and quality preservation of plant-based products. This work bridges fundamental physics with practical food processing applications, emphasizing energy-efficient drying techniques and material science aspects of agricultural commodities.
