Elżbieta Szymczyk graduated from University of Warsaw, Faculty of Mathematics, Informatics and Mechanics, speciality Applied Mathematics, in 1988. She has been an employee of Military University of Technology since 1989. After receiving her PhD degree in 1998 she was an assistant professor. After receiving habitation degree in 2014 she was appointed as an associated professor at MUT. Since 2017 she is a head of Department of Mechanics and Applied Computer Science.

She specializes in computational mechanics and advanced numerical methods applied to the strength analysis of thin-walled and stiffened structures. Her areas of activities focus on numerical modelling and analysis of power transformer windings, stability analysis of stiffened casing of a turbofan engine, residual stress analysis in riveted joints as well as analysis of load transfer in local fiber metal laminates.

She was involved in improvement of computer aided engineering WAT-KM system. In years 1994-1999 she participated in works on methodology of analysis of power transformer windings and development of SPN system introduced to designing process in the Institute of Power Engineering, Transformer Division in Lodz.

She was the principal investigator (2006-2010) in the Eureka project, acronym IMPERJA, on Improving The Fatigue Performance of Riveted Joints in Airframes and a key person in several projects at MUT financed by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education. The results of research on riveted joints were introduced in PZL Mielec Company and Evector Factory in fatigue analysis of M-28Skytruck and VUT100 Cobra aircrafts.

She was the principal investigator (2013-2016) in the project funded from Norway Grants in the Polish-Norwegian Research Programme, acronym PROJOINT, on Improvement of load transfer in mechanically fastened joints of composite panels. The aim of the project was analysis of CFRP laminate locally reinforced with titanium foils.

She cooperates with several institutions and companies, e.g., Institute of Aviation in Warsaw, University of Science and Technology in Cracow, University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz, Polish Aviation Factory in Mielec, Stresstech Oy in Finland, Evektor in Czech Republic. She has introduced numerical methods to the education process at Department of Mechanics and Applied Computer Science at MUT. She has been a head of Laboratory of Computer Methods in Mechanical Engineering since 2004. She is an author and a main lecturer of several courses. She promoted several master theses and was a consultant of 2 doctoral dissertations.

He was the leader of design teams of: helicopter fuselage PZL „Sokół” (W 600), turbofan engines: „Kaszub” „K-15” and „K-16”, He was a member of strength and aerodynamic analysis teams of: rockets „Meteor – 3” and „Meteor – 2H”, flying laboratory ”LALA-1”, helicopter fuselage „Mi – 2M”, chasis M-28 „Skytruck” and „ Bryza”, elements of aircraft I-22 „Iryda”, helicopter „IS-2”.

He was an expert in committee accidents: PZL 104 „Wilga”, „Mig – 15”, „Mig – 17”, member of a national commission of flying ability of M-18, technical expert in international commission NTS X1-16 (Berlin, Levice, 1979).

He has been cooperating with MUT since 1973. Since 2007 he has been an employee of MUT. He participated in the implementation of several research projects at the Warsaw University of Technology, Institute of Aviation and MUT. Recently, he has led the design and development to improve the brakes in armoured vehicle „Dzik” and was a key person in the Eureka IMPERJA european project. The project was dealing with the improvement of fatigue strength of riveted joints of M-28 „Skytruck” and „Bryza” aircrafts. In the years 1983 – 1995 was one of main authors of commercial CAD/FEM software. As a lecturer, he has promoted several engineers.
