Professor Artur Jaworski

Professor Artur J. Jaworski  PhD MSc(Eng) DIC CEng FRAeS CMgr FCMI FHEA  is currently Professor in Engineering and Head of School of Engineering and Design at London South Bank University. He previously served as Chair in Mechanical Engineering (2018-2025) at the School of Computing and Engineering, University of Huddersfield, where he was also Head of Department of Engineering and Technology (2019-2023) and Director of Graduate Education (2023-2025). Prior to arriving at Huddersfield, he has served as Chair in Energy Technology and Environment at the University of Leeds (2013-2017), Chair in Engineering and Head of Thermofluids Research Group at the University of Leicester (2011-2013) and Lecturer and Senior Lecturer at the University of Manchester (2000-2011). In 2015, he was a Visiting Professor at the Faculty of Engineering, University of Cagliari, Italy, and he has been a Visiting Professor at the School of Computing and Engineering, University of Huddersfield in 2017-2018 and again since 2025.

Professor Jaworski received his MSc(Eng) from the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology (1986-1991), and PhD and DIC from the Department of Aeronautics, Imperial College of Science, Technology and Medicine, London (1992-1996). He subsequently trained as postdoctoral research associate at the Department of Chemical Engineering, University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology (1996-2000).

Professor Jaworski's research track record includes: theoretical and numerical analysis of heat and mass transfer processes in thermal-solar systems, experimental fluid dynamics and aerodynamics related to vortex dynamics and coherent structures generated by vortex breakdown flow field, aerodynamic flow control using synthetic jet actuators, sensor design, measurement and instrumentation for multiphase processes, non-invasive imaging techniques such as industrial process tomography and most recently Thermoacoustic Technologies which utilize thermal-fluid interactions between acoustic field and compressible fluid to engineer thermodynamic machines (engines and coolers) with no moving parts.

He has held two prestigious fellowships in Thermoacoustic Technologies: EPSRC Advanced Research Fellowship (2004-2009) and Royal Society Industry Fellowship (2012-2015). He has co-authored in excess of 170 publications, of which over 80 are in refereed scientific journals.
