Professional activities and work experience
Tadeusz Uhl was graduated as Master of Science in Automation in 1980 at University of Science and Technology AGH. He was promoted as PhD at the same University at 1983. From 1984 he worked with teaching applied mechanics, theory of vibration, system identification, signal processing. At this period he participated in many industrial project related to noise and vibration, but latter related to robotics and mechatronics. But from 1986 till 1994 he work at many Universities world wide; France, The Netherlands, Belgium, USA and Japan as a researcher in area of mechatronics.
From 2001 till 2016, he has position of chair of Mechatronics and Robotics Department at the University of Science and Technology AGH, Krakow, Poland, managing research and teaching group of 24 researchers (three of them with long international job record) and teachers and about 56 PhD students (4 foreginers). During this time Department of Robotics and Mechatronics achieved high international level and excellent worldwide reputation. This is confirmed by invitation of professor Tadeusz Uhl as a chairman of international congress and conferences. He was a chairman of 4th European Workshop on Structural Health Monitoring, Chairman of IMEKO Workshop on Smart Diagnostics, Chairmen of 4th Congress of Technical Diagnostics at 2012, he is chosen as a chairman of World Congress of IFToMM at 2019 (the biggest world conference on robotics, mechatronics and theory of machine and mechanism with approx.. 1000 participants).
He is a member Scientific Committee of many worldwide Conferences and Congress like ISMA, ICEDYN, EW SHM, IFToMM Congress, CMM, ROMOCO, ROMANSY, DPP, Dynamic Problems and Applications, International Conference on Mechatronics from idea to applications, etc. He organized and was a chairman of 15 Polish Workshops on Mechatronics and 16 Polish workshops on Modal Analysis both conferences in Krakow with many international participants.
He is a supervisor of 51 defended PhD theses in area of structural dynamics, robotics, technical diagnostics and Structural Health Monitoring and 135 Master Thesis. He was a Member of High Level Group for Key Enabling Technologies in European Commission from 2013 – 2016. He was invited for lectures to domestic and international universities, many times.

PO – IG End of line testing, 2008 – 2012 Coordinator of the project, Energy Software Tools for Sustainable Machine Design ESTOMAD 2010- 2012 under grant agreement nr 247982 of FP7 framework program. Partners of these projects were Universities and top industries from Europe. From domestic projects the following should be indicate; Monitoring of Technical State of Construction and Evaluation of its Lifespan” within the Innovative Economy Operational Program, Measure 1.1 Support for scientific research for establishment of a knowledge – based economy, Sub-measure 1.1.2 Strategic programs of scientific research and development works, Project’s value was 46.000.000 PLN and duration of the Project: 01.10.2008 – 30.09.2012. He was scientific coordinator of the project. Today he is Director of Research Center for Space Technologies at University of Science and Technology AGH and he is managing three European projects related to space technologies. European Space University Universeh is one of these projects with the goal to build new research and educational structure in Europe (France, Germany, Sweden, Luxemburg, Poland).
He won prestigious project Master financed by Foundation for Polish Science in 2010. He started up 28 spin – off companies based on research projects, this companies operates successfully in area of R&D and employing 600 engineers today. The biggest one is EC Engineering, which is on of the biggest engineering company active in rail vehicle design and airplane design sectors. This company is very well recognizing in the world,. Nowadays the company is world leader in rail vehicle design. Professor Tadeusz Uhl is a president and he is managing the company EC Group which coordinating operationof most of spin-offs and start ups. He is a member of advisory board for two stock exchange companies FAMUR SA (2005 – 2015) Wielton SA(2015 – ..) and is responsible for research and development at this companies. He was a President of Scientific advisory board for ALSTOM Transport company (2000- 2005) and Silesian Scientific an Technological Center for Aviation (2010 – 2014). At 2016 he founded IMPACT foundation with mission to create good practice in cooperation between industry and science, but also make more effective commercialization of research results.
