{{human name disambiguation|Nowak, Andrzej}}
He was an interim chairperson in Civil and Environmental Engineering Department at [[University of Nebraska-Lincoln]] from 2009 to 2011. Also, he was a professor at [[University of Michigan]] in Ann Arbor (1979-2004).
He is an author and co-author of more than twenty-five books and monographs, about one hundred and fifty academic articles, and three hundred published papers delivered at specialist science conferences. So far he has been a dissertation supervisor of more than forty doctorate theses. He had a major contribution to structural reliability and Load and Resistance Factor Design ([[LRFD]]) philosophy.

He is an author of [[Reliability of Structures]] and a pioneer in the field of [[structural reliability]].

==Biography==

===Education===
Nowak received his [[Ph.D.]] degrees from the [[Politechnika Warszawska]], [[Warsaw]], [[Poland]] in 1975. His principal research interests are analysis and design of structures, evaluation of existing structures, risk and reliability analysis of structures.

==Career==
He is a chairperson in civil and environmental engineering at Auburn University. He was serving as [[Robert W. Brightfelt]] professor of civil and environmental engineering at University of Nebraska (Civil Engineering) from 2005 to 2013, while he was an Interim Chair from 2009 to 2011. Also, he is an [[emeritus professor]] of [[University of Michigan]], where he served there for more than 25 years from 1979 to 2004.

He is an author and co-author of more than twenty books and monographs, more than one hundred academic articles, and two hundred fifty published papers delivered at specialist science conferences. So far he has been a dissertation supervisor of more than thirty doctorate theses. His major is reliability theory and its application in civil engineering.
