Dr. Jan Chvojan. He graduated from the University of West Bohemia in Pilsen, Czechia in the field of engineering technology and received his PhD in 2017. Since 1997 he is the Head of the Dynamic Testing Laboratory of the Research and Testing Institute in Pilsen which focuses on research of the strength of materials and structures in both energy and transport industry. His main research interests include research of the fatigue strength and service life of rolling stock components, especially bogie frames, using both classical conventional and advanced materials based on glass composites and their application in modern transport systems. He also researches the vibration resistance of mass transport vehicle equipment and the seismic resistance of key components of nuclear power plants. He is involved in the development activities of the National Centre of Competence for Road and Rail Transport Systems and the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic and is a member of EuroSem Committee – European Society for Experimental Mechanics.
