Since September 2025, prof. Ing. Jozef Štefko, CSc. has started working at the Department of Building Engineering and Urban Planning at the Faculty of Civil Engineering, University of Žilina. He is an expert in wooden building structures, particularly regarding energy efficiency, sustainable development and building physics. He brings valuable experience and enthusiasm to our team, which will help us achieve common goals in the development of the wooden buildings focus within the new Building Engineering – Wood Structures study programme. We will collaborate with him, as well as with the new assistant professor Ing. Michal Poljak, PhD., on interesting projects.

We look forward to the innovative perspectives and ideas that both will certainly bring to our department.
