Summary:
Dr Adam Jan Sadowski is a Lecturer in the Structures Section. His 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.
