He has been invited to become the member of Advisory Boards and Scientific Committees of several international conferences, such as Eurosteel, and took part in few European Projects, such as Cost, Robust, Android, Affordable House and Purest. He has been the author or co-author of over 200 journal and conference papers and several technical books. His recent investigations focus on steel and composite joints and their influence on structure behavior. Jerzy Ziolko is emeritus professor of the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Environment of the Gdansk University of Technology. He was granted the honorable distinction of the Doctor of Honoris Causa in 2012 by the University of Technology and Life Sciences in Bydgoszcz, Poland. Professional and research interests of Professor Jerzy Ziolko focus on different structural and technological aspects of metal building and civil engineering structures, mostly steel shell structures (tanks for liquids and gases), durability and safety of steel structures, rheological aspects of mechanical properties of steel due to long-lasting exploitation and methods of modern assembly, maintenance and restoration of steel structures. Professor Ziolko has published 14 books (including 4 authored individually) and 213 chapters and journal articles (including 39 in foreign journals). He is a member of Editorial Board of the journal Steel Construction - Design and Research. He has been invited to become the member of Advisory Boards and Scientific Committees of several international conferences, and to prepare plenary keynote lectures at the conferences taken place worldwide.
