MISSION:

Bridging engineering education and industry to solve energy challenges.

VISION:

To lead in addressing industrial energy and education needs through collaboration and applied expertise

Welcome!

My name is Dr. Pawel Olszewski. In my 25+ years of professional experience as a mechanical engineer, I have focused on solving complex and unique energy-related problems. After completing my doctoral dissertation (cum laude) at the prestigious Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology (Poland), I:

worked as a technical leader for the Polish Oil & Gas Company
served as a member in the European Union Standardization Committee
participated in energy auditing trainings in Energy Conservation Center, Japan
performed energy audits in various manufacturing plants providing energy saving recommendations
conducted various energy research at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor
established the Mechanical Engineering Technology and Automation Engineering programs at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh
conceptualized, designed and constructed Teaching and Energy Research Industrial Lab,
published advanced optimization research
prototyped and patented flameless impingement oven

Currently, I enjoy teaching students at UW Oshkosh, and I am looking for opportunities to partner with a medium and large size industrial and manufacturing organizations in establishing their Energy Strategies by auditing, optimization and analyses of the energy-intensive systems:

Process heating, both natural gas and electric (metallurgy, petrochemical)
Steam generation and distribution (food industry, corn ethanol, power generation)
Chiller applications, pumping systems compressed air systems
Co- and triple-generation
Implementation of renewable energy

I am hoping to do this to merge my two professional goals – (i) supporting industry as an independent energy consultant with innovative conservation ideas and (ii) continuing to serve, educate and involve students interested in the engineering field with my knowledge and experience:

A strong understanding of industrial energy and manufacturing processes
Analytical and numerical modelling skills to solve unique, non-standard problems
A solid experimental background including specialty system design and construction
Outstanding interpersonal, organizational, team management and teaching skills

About website

This website is organized into five thematic sections: (i) About, (ii) Consulting, (iii) Academia, (iv) Personal blog, and (v) Q&A (Contact me). The focus is to demonstrate how the energy-intensive company can benefit from a unique combination of my practical engineering experience, theoretical knowledge, and manual skills. These elements are ideally suited to fulfill the manufacturing sector’s requirements. As an independent engineering consultant and researcher, I provide solutions for complex, non-standard, engineering and energy-related problems in the manufacturing sector. I am firmly convinced, that I am able help companies in ways that can release time demands experienced by their current engineering teams enabling them to focus on their actual demanding tasks.
