O autorze

Jacek M. Czaplicki (Mining Mechanization Institute, Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland) has been an academic lecturer for forty years and is continuously associated with his home University. He did, however, leave his school for a couple of years’ lecturing in African universities. He worked for three years at the School of Mines of the Kwara State College of Technology, Ilorin, Nigeria on a UNESCO project. A few years later, he was appointed to Zambia Consolidated Copper Mines Ltd for three years and worked as a lecturer at the School of Mines of the University of Zambia, Lusaka as part of a World Bank project. Jacek Czaplicki received a Master of Science in Mine Mechanization from the Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice, Poland. He also obtained a Doctorate degree in Technical Sciences. Later, he submitted a dissertation and passed all of the requirements and was awarded a D.Sc. degree in Mining and Geological Engineering with a specialisation in Mine Machinery at the same home University. Currently, he is a Professor of Mining Engineering. He has published about a hundred and forty papers and ten books in Poland and abroad. His specialization comprises mine transport, the reliability and computation of mine machinery systems and the reliability of hoist head ropes. In his research, he applies methods and models from mathematical statistics. He is an internationally recognized specialist in mine mechanization.
