Prof. Wojciech Lipiński is a Professor at the Energy, Environment and Water Research Centre (EEWRC) of the Cyprus Institute. He holds a Master's in Environmental Engineering from Warsaw University of Technology (2000), a PhD in Mechanical and Process Engineering from ETH Zurich (2004), and a Habilitation in Energy Technology from ETH Zurich (2009). Previously, he worked at ETH Zurich (2004–2009), the University of Minnesota (2009–2013), and the Australian National University (2013–2021). His research focuses on solar energy engineering, particularly optical, thermal, and chemical aspects of concentrated solar thermal systems. Key areas include radiative transfer, high-temperature multiphase systems, and applications in solar fuel production, environmental separations, and thermal control. He leads studies on reactor design for solar thermochemical processes, including carbon capture and material processing. Prof. Lipiński is an editorial board member of Solar Energy , Journal of Quantitative Spectroscopy and Radiative Transfer , and Thermopedia . He is actively involved with the International Centre for Heat and Mass Transfer, American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and Eurotherm Committee. His accolades include the Elsevier/JQSRT Raymond Viskanta Award (2013), ASME Yellott Award (2020), and ASME Fellow status (2021). His recent work emphasizes scalable solar energy solutions, advanced coating materials, and carbon capture technologies. He collaborates internationally on projects like coral-inspired solar absorbers and hydrate-based CO₂ storage systems.
