She is a member of the Board of the Science Commission of the Małopolska Branch of the Polish Association of Construction Engineers and Technicians (2016-present). She recently became a coordinator of the PM&VL7 research line in the EU Horizon 2020 Measuring Envelope project for products and systems contributing to healthy, nearly Zero Energy buildings, No. 953157 (MEZeroE). Her teaching disciplines include the technology of concrete, building materials, and the certification of building products.

Professor Arkadiusz Kwiecień has been working at the Cracow University of Technology (CUT) since graduating in 1995 at the Faculty of Civil Engineering. From the beginning of 2021, he is full professor at CUT. In 2016, he founded the FlexAndRobust System Ltd. at CUT and became its CEO, dedicated commercialization of innovative products: PolyUrethane Flexible Joints (PUFJ) and Fiber Reinforced PolyUrethanes (FRPU). He has been conducting international scientific cooperation in the field of research on the use of PUFJ in concrete, masonry and wood construction, with particular emphasis on composite reinforcements. The solutions developed by him have proved their effectiveness in anti-seismic engineering by many research carried out in international teams. He is the author or co-author of over 260 scientific publications and over 50 expert opinions for the industry. He has conducted several national and international research projects. He is active as a member of ICOMOS and ISCARSAH, as well as the RILEM and COST Action committees. Currently, he is leading Polish scientific teams working on PUFJ and FRPU in international projects (H2020 MEZeroE), holistic design of taller timber buildings (COST Action CA20139) and durability of strengthening composites (RILEM TC 290-IMC). He is an expert of ICOMOS and ISCARSAH, evaluating a repair project of masonry tunnels’ portals in the Rhaetian Railway, Albula/Bernina (UNESCO) in Swiss Alps.
