Display of the original appearance and construction of furnaces for smelting iron ores that were built and were in function for producing iron during the Antiquity and the Middle Ages at two sites in the Drava River valley. The technology of processing iron ore depended on the type of furnace, and he will serve as a consultant in determining the technological process of smelting the iron ore in the discovered furnaces with the aim of determining technological similarities and differences in the smelting process throughout time, with an attempt made to answer the question of what caused them. He will participate in defining the spatial organization of the furnaces and other component parts of the workshops, as well as in considering whether the arrangement of structures concurs with the technological process, did changes occur in the spatial organization through time, and (if present) did they depend on changes to the technological process. Time dedicated to the project: 10% working time.

Curriculum vitae

Prof. Ladislav Lazić was born 1953 in Vetovo, Požega District, Croatia. He received degrees in mechanical engineering from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering and Naval Architecture, University of Zagreb (BS, 1976; MS 1984) and in metallurgy engineering from the Faculty of Metallurgy, University of Zagreb (PhD, 1991). In the period 1976-1979, he was employed in the "Sisak Ironworks" where he performed the duties of Technical Manager in the department for maintenance of the aggregates and machines for plastic deformation in rolling mill of strips, beams and welded tubes. From 1979 to 1981, he worked in the Vodoprivreda Hrvatska firm, OVP Zagreb, HIDROPUT Sisak, the firm for regulation of river-beds and exploitation of river gravel, performing maintenance as the head of the technical service as well as supervision over the construction of new vessels. In 1981, he joined the Faculty of Metallurgy, University of Zagreb, and is currently Professor, giving a wide variety of courses in mechanical engineering, thermal science, and industrial furnaces. The main areas of his scientific research are: computation of high-temperature radiative heat transfer, the thermodynamics of fuel utilization and pollutant formation, the design and efficiency of industrial furnaces and heating equipment, the CFD approach to combustion modelling and numerical simulation of furnace processes, the finite element technique in simultaneous transient conduction and thermal stress analysis, and techniques in the reduction of NO_x emissions. He has developed calculated schemes and mathematical models for the design and prediction of thermal performance of furnaces and recuperators, and contributed to the development and application of the methods for reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides by reconstructing existing and the construction of new burners. Prof. L. Lazić is an author/co-author of more than 100 scientific and professional works, including 3 monographs and 1 patent, and 15 projects and studies for industrial requirements. He has developed broad international scientific and teaching activities in cooperation with numerous prestigious international scientific-educational institutions and received several national and international awards for teaching and research.
