dr inż. Aleksandra Lipczyńska
Aleksandra Lipczyńska, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at the Silesian University of Technology in Poland, where she has worked since March 2019. Her research interests lie in the area of indoor environmental quality, and air distribution and air-conditioning systems. More specifically, her work examines the human response to the indoor environment, thermal comfort, indoor air quality, work performance and how HVAC systems affect building energy consumption.
Dr. Lipczyńska received her PhD and MSc in Environmental Engineering from the Silesian University of Technology in 2015 and 2011 respectively, working with dr. Jan Kaczmarczyk, PhD, DSc. Her PhD work has been completed under collaboration with the Technical University of Denmark under co-supervision of Prof. Arsen Melikov, PhD. She studied the impact of combined system of personalized ventilation and chilled ceiling on indoor environment and energy consumption, for which she was awarded with a scholarship under DoktoRIS – Scholarship programme for innovative Silesia co-financed by the European Union under the European Social Fund covered by Human Capital Programme.
After obtaining her PhD, she worked as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the Berkeley Education Alliance for Research in Singapore (BEARS) since January 2016 until December 2019. BEARS has been established by the University of California, Berkeley as a centre for intellectual excellence in research and education in Singapore. She worked under the Singapore-Berkeley Building Efficiency and Sustainability in the Tropics (SinBerBEST) programme. SinBerBEST is an interdisciplinary group of researchers from UC Berkeley, Nanyang Technological University, and the National University of Singapore. In the SinBerBEST programme, her research is included in the work organization theme A: Human-Building Nexus: Enhancing health and productivity in the built environment. In addition to conducting research in climatic and field chambers, Dr. Lipczyńska participated in a project implementing construction technologies developed by SinBerBEST in a real facility as a technological leader of a team dealing with an integrated air conditioning, ventilation and fan system.
Additionally, Dr. Lipczyńska conducts basic research on the factors influencing individual differences in people’s thermal sensations. Recently, she has focused on the effect of differences in body structure on thermal sensation. This work is aimed at improving the current models of thermal sensation and creating individual thermal models that will be used in the control of central and individual HVAC systems.
