Karolina Adach-Pawelus

Karolina Adach-Pawelus, PhD, is a researcher at the Department of Mining within the Faculty of Geoengineering, Mining and Geology at Wrocław University of Science and Technology. Her work focuses on geomechanical challenges in underground mining environments, with a strong emphasis on safety and numerical analysis.

Research Interests: Her primary research areas include underground mining, geomechanics, numerical modeling in geotechnics, seismic and rockburst hazards in mines, rockburst prevention methods, and conducting mining operations under difficult geological and mining conditions. She investigates how structural remnants and roof control techniques influence mine stability and seismic risk.

The recent publications reflect a focused trend on understanding and mitigating seismic risks in room-and-pillar mining systems, particularly through numerical modeling and stability analysis of remnants and roof deflection. Her work contributes to safer mining practices through improved hazard prediction and engineering controls.

Scientific Contributions: Although no formal awards are listed, her peer-reviewed publications in journals like Studia Geotechnica et Mechanica and conference proceedings such as OP Conference Series: Earth and Environmental Science demonstrate active engagement in the scientific mining and geomechanics community.

Advising and Grants: There is no public information available regarding graduate students supervised or research grants obtained. However, her ongoing research suggests potential involvement in funded projects related to mine safety and geomechanical modeling.

Labs and Research Groups: While specific laboratories or teams are not mentioned, her affiliation with the Department of Mining at a technical university indicates likely collaboration within geomechanics or mining safety research groups at Wrocław University of Science and Technology.
