Grzegorz Liśkiewicz

I am a scientist. My research covers compressors, energy, and aviation. I develop educational initiatives to shape the technological future of my country.

I believe STEM education and energy must coexist and support each other. If any of this resonates with you, let’s talk.

What I do

Three areas of my work

They share one conviction: the energy transition is not created by power plants. It will be built by engineers, whom we must prepare for the task.

Research

Safety of energy machines

Compressors are found in energy, aviation, and the space industry. I study their flow instabilities so they operate safely. I also work on micro jet engines, hydrogen, and digital cities.

STEM education

Educating future engineers

The future of the country depends on how we educate our people. I look for new ways of engaging young people in engineering. Instead of lectures, I focus on action and on opening international opportunities early in their careers.

Energy

Energy transition

Poland deserves cheap and clean energy, and that requires wise choices. I comment on energy from the standpoint of physics and data. I stay away from politics and lobbying.

My research

Selected research projects

I work on machine safety, hydrogen, and industrial energy efficiency. Below are the key areas and the projects in which I develop them.

Program LIDERLeader

Compressor safety

Compressors are found in energy, aviation, and the space industry. I study how to recognise and stop their dangerous operating states before a failure occurs. I develop this as the leader of a LIDER programme project.

NATO SPSOngoing

Hydrogen in aviation

I am building a hydrogen-fuelled combustion chamber for a small jet engine, a step towards CO2-free propulsion. The project is funded by NATO.

Horizon EuropeOngoing

Industrial energy efficiency

I help factories use less energy by recovering waste heat and flexibly managing power demand. I do this in the European FLEXIndustries project, with Poland as one of the demonstration sites.

Project website

Fulbright Senior AwardTexas A&M

A year in the leading compressor laboratory

I conducted research at the Turbomachinery Laboratory at Texas A&M University, one of the world’s leading compressor research centres.

Initiatives

Initiatives I co-create

Projects that lead young people into engineering and build a community around science, energy, and the city. Each of them is open: if you want to join or help, get in touch.

For pupils

STEM Racing Poland

The Polish edition of the world’s largest STEM education competition. Pupils design miniature race cars using advanced engineering techniques and compete in thrilling races.

Co-founder · Wysokie Obroty Foundation

For young researchers

Stodola Academy

Supporting young turbomachinery researchers from Central and Eastern Europe and building a bridge to the global community of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Co-founder · V4 network

For students

Mechaton

The most popular student initiative at the faculty. A 48-hour engineering hackathon in which teams solve a real problem set by a company, from Veolia to Hitachi.

Originator

For PhD students

The PhD Code

A practical guide for PhD students in STEM. 60 short chapters addressing specific challenges of doctoral studies, with tools that help in writing publications (available in chapter 3).

Co-author · Springer Nature

For the city

Energy Regeneration of Cities Congress

A congress on energy and technologies in the city. It builds a multi-generational community discussing the future of cities and actively engages students in that conversation.

Vice-chairman of the Programme Council

For students

Looking for a thesis or PhD topic?

I supervise theses and PhD projects in energy machines, hydrogen, and AI applications in engineering. If any of these directions interests you, write to me. You don’t need a ready idea, curiosity is enough.

For media

Talks, interviews, articles

I comment on energy and higher education. I don’t seek cheap controversy, but let’s be honest: both areas need rapid change. Working on a story? Write to hello@liskiewicz.tech. Most materials below are in Polish.
