Biography Krzysztof (Kris) Kowalski was born in Gdynia (Poland), where he obtained his primary education. In the years 1975-79 he attended the Gdansk Polytechnic Institute, where he obtained a title of an Engineer in Hydraulics Department. Following, he worked a few years as a civil engineer in surveys and construction with the most challenging assignment in Libyan oilfields. In 1983 he started graduate engineering studies in the University of Mississippi, completing M.S. Degree in 1984. Following he has worked 15 months as a Research Assistant in the University of Arkansas in the field of computer modelling of groundwater movement co-authoring several publications in groundwater journals. Since 1986 Kris has been working for the Connecticut Department of Transportation designing different transportation structures. In the past 30 years he has done research in Operations Research, mostly in linear and non-linear programming. His work was published in several operations research journals.
