Dr. Piotr Szablewski is a lecturer in the department of Technical Mechanics and Informatics, Technical University of Lodz, Poland. He has over 18 years of experience in teaching mechanics and numerical methods in engineering. He is particularly interested in theoretical methods and numerical simulation. Dr. Piotr Szablewski's areas of interest also involve theoretical mechanics and its applications in woven and non-woven textiles (particularly - textile composites). He tries to develop textile mechanics in the department of Technical Mechanics and Informatics - Technical University of Lodz. During the last three years he has worked on applications of numerical method for building geometrical models for textile composites and predicting mechanical parameters. Currently he is working on simulation and optimization geometrical parameters of composites, to obtain higher quality for structural strength of textile composites. He also has an experience of working with international student groups in the field of mechanics.
