Rate My Professor Jerzy Lis

Professor Lis specializes in materials engineering and chemical technology, with a focus on advanced and traditional ceramic materials, self-propagating high-temperature synthesis (SHS), properties of ceramics and composites, and their applications. He pioneered SHS research in Poland, authoring key publications including 'Solid combustion synthesis of Ti3SiC2' (1989, Journal of the European Ceramic Society), 'Ti3SiC-based materials prepared by HIP-SHS techniques' (1995, Materials Letters), and 'Synthesis of ternary titanium aluminum carbides using self-propagating high-temperature synthesis technique' (2001, Journal of the American Ceramic Society). His scholarly output encompasses approximately 400 papers, 6 books, 180 conference presentations (125 international), and 18 patents. He has supervised 13 doctoral dissertations and led 12 research projects funded by the State Committee for Scientific Research and the Ministry of Education and Science, along with 16 national and 3 international projects. An Ordinary Member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, he is also a member of the World Academy of Ceramics (since 2002), Fellow of the European Ceramic Society and American Ceramic Society, and serves on numerous committees, scientific councils, and editorial boards such as Ceramics International. His honors include the Knight’s Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta (2019), Bridge Building Award from the American Ceramic Society, Golden Engineer (2016), and Silver Medal of Merit of the Republic of Poland.
