Professor Jan Taler is the author or co-author of about 300 publications in scientific journals, including Energy, Fuel, Energy Conversion and Management, International Journal of Heat and Mass Transfer, Heat and Mass Transfer, Heat Transfer Engineering, International Journal of Energy Research, Transactions of the ASME - Journal Pressure Vessel Technology, Journal of Thermal Stresses, Forschung im Ingenieurwesen, and VGB Power-Tech. He is also author or co-author of 10 books and over 20 chapters in scientific monographs and entries in the Encyclopedia of Thermal Stresses. He conducts research in the field of heat transfer engineering and thermal power engineering, in particular, with the following issues: inverse heat conduction problems, measurement of heat flux and heat transfer coefficient, ash fouling and slagging in steam boilers, boiler dynamics of large steam boilers, thermal stresses, monitoring of power boilers, and remnant life of pressure elements of boilers working under creep conditions. He was a scholarship holder of DAAD and Alexander von Humboldt Foundation. He supervised 16 doctoral theses. He is a member of many scientific committees. Professor J. Taler participated in many research projects funded by industry and the Polish Committee for Scientific Research. Many of his innovative technical solutions have been implemented in power plants.
