Control, Electronic and Electrical Engineering
Professor Andrzej Bartoszewicz (no. of publications in 2013-2017: 58; h-index: 23) was a visiting scholar at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN, USA, and at Strathclyde University, Glasgow, UK.
Then, for one year he was at the University of Leicester, UK. Currently he is a full professor at Lodz University of Technology, head of Electric Drive and Industrial Automation Group, and director of Institute of Automatic Control. He has published three monographs and over 350 papers, primarily in the fields of sliding mode control, congestion control in data transmission networks and theoretical aspects of supply chain management control.
Professor Andrzej Bartoszewicz received best paper awards at three international conferences. He served as a guest editor of special issues of International Journal of Adaptive Control and Signal Processing and IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics.
Professor Bartoszewicz is a corresponding member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, vice-president of the Lodz Branch of the Academy, and the vice-chairman of the Committee on Automatic Control and Robotics of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Currently, he serves as a representative of Poland in the European Control Association (EUCA), and the chairman of the Scientific Council of the Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements in Warsaw.
Telecommunication and Computer Science
Professor Szymon Grabowski (no. of publications in 2013-2017: 34; FWCI: 1.21; International cooperation: 32.4%; h-index: 16).
His main research interests are: string matching, text indexing, and data compression, with applications in bioinformatics. He has published about 130 peer-reviewed papers.
His main scientific achievements (usually joint works), are divided into two areas: (1) string matching: (i) Matryoshka counters, a novel technique for matching with k-mismatches, (ii) efficient algorithms for web graph compression, (iii) full-text indexes with competitive space/time trade-offs, usually from the suffix array or FM-index family of indexes; (2) bioinformatics: (i) copMEM, an efficient algorithm for finding Maximal Efficient Matches, (ii) DSRC and ORCOM, efficient FASTQ compressors, (iii) KMC2, a fast k-mer counter, (iv) efficient online search over a pan-genome.
Dr hab. Szymon Grabowski in years 2011-2017 he was the principal investigator in two NCN grants and in years 2001-2018 was a co-principal investigator in the NATO grant and Croatian Science Foundation grant.
Mathematics
Professor Urszula Ledzewicz (no. of publications in 2013-2017: 27; FWCI: 1.56; International cooperation: 40.7%; h-index: 19) specializes in geometric methods of optimal control and their applications to analysis of mathematical models describing cancer therapies.
She cooperates with many centres of biomathematics, in particular with the Mathematical Biosciences Institute (Ohio, USA), pharmaceutical industry, e.g. Bristol-Myers-Squibb. She is a co-author of 3 monographs published by Springer-Verlag and over 150 scientific articles.
She is a member of editorial boards of several journals; she has organized over 30 international conferences; she has been a referee of many grants for the National Science Foundation USA, Chile, Luxemburg.
Telecommunication and Computer Science
Professor Michał Strzelecki (no. of publications in 2013-2017: 35, h-index=12) his scientific interests include the processing and analysis of biomedical signals and images, data analysis methods, and artificial intelligence.
In particular, he develops computer methods for image texture analysis and their applications. He builds hardware implementations of artificial neural networks.
