Julita Krassowska, PhD, Eng.
Julita Krassowska works as an Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Environmental Sciences at Bialystok University of Technology. Her research interests include reinforced concrete structures and alternative possibilities for replacing steel reinforcement i.e., via application of basalt fibers aNotably, her studies extended to continuous beams, where shear behavior is complex due to the interplay of both transverse forces and bending moments. She is/was a contractor in projects related to her research interest (mineral additives, non-metalic reinforcement in concrete) financed by National Science Center (NCN) and National Center for Research and Development (NCBR). She also provided expertise of basalt fiber-reinforced concrete applied in a road viaduct in Bydgoszcz. Dr. Julita Krassowska is the author of numerous structural and construction projects and has experience in construction management. She is an expert at the Institute of Innovation and Technology of Bialystok University of Technology. Strong organizational skills, precision, teamwork abilities, and communication skills are required in her line of work. She understands the importance of merging scientific work with industry, as scientific endeavors are born through close collaboration with industry and attentive consideration of issues in the composite reinforcement sector.
