Professor Pawel Niewczas
Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Personal statement
Professor Pawel Niewczas leads the Advanced Sensors Team within the Institute for Energy and Environment at the Department of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, 糖心视频. His main research interests centre on the advancement of photonic sensing methods and systems integration in applications that lie predominantly in power and energy sectors. He has carried out a unique portfolio of research programmes, generally focusing on optical and fibre based sensors, addressing such issues as sensor design, fabrication, packaging, deployment, and interrogation in challenging environments. The applications of his research include such areas as power system metering and protection; wind turbine structural health monitoring; downhole pressure, temperature, voltage and current measurement; and sensing in nuclear fission and fusion environments. He has published over 140 technical papers in this area and holds 6 granted patents. Externally, he is a co-founder and R&D Director of the spin-out company Synaptec.
Professor Niewczas听is Director of the Graduate School in the EEE Department. He is also Director of the Electrical Power and Energy Systems (EPES) MSc Course.
Professor Niewczas is open to PhD project supervision for candidates interested in the above research domain.
