Biography
Agnieszka Ubowska, PhD Dsc Eng was born in 1978 in Piła, where she graduated from the Secondary School of Environmental Protection. In the years 1998-2003 she studied at the Faculty of Technology and Chemical Engineering of the Szczecin University of Technology, majoring in environmental protection. She obtained her doctorate in technical sciences in 2008, defending her thesis entitled "Hybrid hydrophilic acrylamide (co)polymers". The supervisor of the distinguished doctoral dissertation was Prof. Tadeusz Spychaj. In December 2009, she was employed at the Department of Technical Ship Security at the Faculty of Maritime Technology (currently the Department of Safety and Energy Engineering, Faculty of Maritime Technology and Transport), where she still works as the head of the department. In 2019, the Senate of the Maritime University of Szczecin awarded Mrs. Agnieszka Ubowska a habilitated doctor's degree in the field of engineering and technical sciences in the discipline of mechanical engineering. Agnieszka Ubowska is a graduate of the Pedagogical School of the Szczecin University of Technology, which she completed in 2002.
Ubowska's scientific interests focus, among others, on: around issues related to the risk of chemical substances in the technical environment, resulting from the use of chemicals in processing and production processes and operating fluids (e.g. in ship power plants), including refrigerants, lubricants and solvents. As part of her research, she analyzed both the uncontrolled release of these substances from tanks located at the plant and from storage tanks used in road and rail transport, while also looking for sorbents that effectively absorb liquid pollutants from paved surfaces. Additionally, she is interested in issues related to broadly understood technical security, including: polymeric materials with improved thermal and strength properties.
