Prof. Dr. Elżbieta Radziszewska-Zielina | Engineering | Best Researcher Award

Cracow University of Technology | Poland

Prof. Dr. Elżbieta Radziszewska-Zielina is a distinguished researcher from Politechnika Krakowska, Krakow, Poland, widely recognized for her pioneering work in civil engineering, sustainable construction management, and intelligent systems for project engineering. Her research bridges technical innovation, computational modeling, and sustainability principles to enhance efficiency, environmental responsibility, and resilience in the built environment. She has published 59 scientific papers indexed in Scopus, which have collectively received 838 citations, yielding a Scopus h-index of 20, reflecting her strong academic influence and international recognition. Her studies focus on modern construction materials, energy-efficient building technologies, blue-green infrastructure, and systemic approaches to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in urban construction. Her innovative use of computational techniques—including type-1 and type-2 fuzzy logic, stochastic networks, multi-criteria decision analysis, and optimization algorithms—has advanced the understanding and practical application of complex construction processes. Prof. Dr. Elżbieta Radziszewska-Zielina’s notable research outputs include the development of decision-support systems for construction planning, models for adaptive reuse of historic buildings, and optimization frameworks for nearly zero-energy buildings. She has contributed to key international research and educational projects funded by the National Science Centre (NCN), National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR), Horizon 2020, and other European programs. Her editorial leadership includes guest editing special issues in Sustainability, Polymers, and Open Engineering, and serving on the boards of Archives of Civil Engineering and Selected Scientific Papers – Journal of Civil Engineering.
