Antoni Szumanowski is a professor at Warsaw University of Technology and the Head of the Department of the Multisource Propulsion System. He has been involved in hybrid electric vehicles (HEVs) research since 1976. He earned both Ph.D. and D.Sc. degrees from Warsaw University of Technology, where he is the leader of the Scientific Division, whose activity is supported by government and university grants. He is a member of the Committee of EVS (Electric Vehicle Symposium in the world), a board member of the European Association for Battery, Hybrid and Fuel Cell Electric Vehicles (AVERE), and President of the Polish Society for Environmentally-friendly Vehicles. He is the reviewer of a few important journals such as `IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology' and the `Journal of Automobile Engineering'. He has been involved in EU FP6 (HyHEELS) and FP7 (AVTR, WIDE -MOB, ENIAC, INTRASME, SAGE) in the fields of electromobility and green transportation because of his rich experience and knowledge in the field of Hybrid & Electric Vehicles. He has published five monographs and books in Polish in the field of E&HEVs , alternative energy and energy storage systems. Two monographs have been written in English `Fundamentals of Hybrid Vehicle Drives' (2000) and `Hybrid Electric Vehicle Drives Design Edition based on URBAN BUSES' (2006). The two English books were translated into Chinese and published in the Press Department of Beijing Institute of Technology. He has about 30 patents on the solutions of components and propulsion systems for E&HEVs. See less
