BIO
Dr Adam Jan Sadowski is a Reader and EPSRC Fellow in Computational Structural Engineering.
His current and former roles in the Department include:
- Representative of the Structures Section to the MSc Mitigating Circumstances Board - 2022 to present.
- (formerly) Senior Tutor for Taught Postgraduate Courses - 2022 to 2025;
- (formerly) Coordinator for Graduate and Undegraduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs and UGTAs) - 2020 to 2024.
Research interests
Dr Sadowski's research interests include the theoretical and computational simulation of the strength and stability of complex metal shell structures, for which he employs methods from shell theory, finite element analysis, applied mathematics and solid mechanics.
He plays an active role in European Standards development for thin-walled shell structures. He is:
- Convenor of CEN / TC250 / SC3 / WG6 on the Evolution of EN 1993-1-6 on the strength and stability of metal shells;
- Member of CEN / TC250 / SC3 / WG7, WG15 and WG16 on the Evolution of EN 1993-1-7 on plate assemblies, EN 1993-4-1 on silos and EN 1993-4-2 on tanks respectively;
- Former member of CEN / TC250 / SC3 / PT5 on the re-development of EN 1993-1-6 and EN 1993-1-7 (now completed) as part of Mandate M/515 (phase 2);
- Former member of CEN / TC250 / SC3 / PT12 on the re-development of EN 1993-4-1 and EN 1993-4-2 (now completed) as part of Mandate M/515 (phase 4);
- Member of CEN / TC250 / SC1 / WG5 on the Evolution of EN 1991-4 on actions on silos and tanks;
- Former member of CEN / TC250 / SC1 / PT10 on the re-development of EN 1991-4 (now completed) as part of Mandate M/515 (phase 2).
Editorial experience
- Guest Editor of a Special Issue of Advances in Structural Engineering (Sage) to celebrate the 70th birthday of Professor J. Michael Rotter, 2017 - 2018;
- Associate Editor of Advances in Structural Engineering (Sage) since 2018;
- Lead Organiser and Author of the International 'Round-Robin' on Computational Shell Buckling (wind turbine tower benchmark) published in Engineering Failure Analysis (Elsevier), 2022;
- Managing Guest Editor of a Virtual Special Issue of Data in Brief (Elsevier) on GMNIA Validation in Computational Structural Engineering, 2023;
