ACADEMIC CURRICULUM VITAE

Tomasz Garbowski

Associate Professor

Poznan University of Life Sciences
Faculty of Environmental and Mechanical Engineering

Researcher, engineer and academic by profession, professional overthinker by habit. Works on structural mechanics, numerical modelling, optimisation and, for reasons still under investigation, corrugated board. Turns technical problems into equations, industrial solutions and occasionally another paper. Also lectures, supervises, edits, reviews and somehow keeps finding new projects to add to the list. Believes that almost everything can be modelled, preferably before coffee.
