The active involvement of our representatives strengthened the Institute’s international standing.
Between 15 and 19 June 2026, ASME Turbo Expo 2026 — the world’s leading conference dedicated to turbomachinery, energy systems, and propulsion technologies — was held in Milan. The event, organized for over 70 years by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, brought together 2,500–3,000 specialists and nearly 1,000 scientific presentations. The conference covered a broad spectrum of topics related to modern flow and energy technologies.
A delegation from the Institute of Turbomachinery at Lodz University of Technology participated in this year’s edition, consisting of: Dr. Eng. Grzegorz Liśkiewicz, PhD candidate Aleksandra Woźniak, PhD candidate Muhammad Zahid and student Anastasiia Kononenko.
Professor Grzegorz Liśkiewicz was a panelist in the dedicated session “How to write a good paper for ASME Turbo Expo”, prepared by the Student Advisory Committee and addressed to the entire conference community. In his talk, he shared his experience in preparing high‑quality scientific publications, emphasizing strong argumentation, clarity in presenting results, and the standards expected within the ASME community. He also chaired three technical sessions: Compressors and Pumps, Predictive Modeling, and General Turbomachinery Aspects. In addition, he was a co‑author of a paper on compressor instability and overload phenomena — one of the key issues in contemporary turbomachinery engineering.
The conference program also included a presentation by PhD candidate Muhammad Zahid titled “Identification of surge in a compressor in a closed refrigeration system using approximate entropy estimation”, presenting research results on detecting instability in the operation of compressors in refrigeration systems.
The participation of Professor Grzegorz Liśkiewicz and the presence of young researchers from the Institute of Turbomachinery at Lodz University of Technology significantly strengthened the Institute’s visibility on the international stage. The conference served as an important venue for knowledge exchange, observing global trends, and building relationships within the ASME community, supporting the development of the team’s competencies in turbomachinery and future energy technologies.
