Prof. Thomas Skotnicki has been awarded a prestigious ERC Advanced grant

For five days of intensive workshop work, more than 200 people discussed and drew possible visions for the spatial development of the Warsaw University of Technology campus. The results of the workshop are now being compiled by designers from the KAMPUS.PW team and the most likely scenarios for the transformation of the buildings and areas of the Warsaw University of Technology will be presented.

Between 2011 and 2014, Professor Krzysztof Sibilski and his research team developed a prototype of an innovative launcher for unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) that uses passive magnetic suspension. Continuing this work, his daughter, Anna Sibilska-Mroziewicz, Ph.D., under the supervision of Professor Edyta Ładyżyńska-Kozdraś, is defending her doctoral degree and co-designing a virtual model of the launcher, increasing the chance of its popularisation.

WUT researchers’ idea will help to estimate the risk and rate of arterial overgrowth and the risk of haemolysis in coronary artery disease. The project assumes the creation of three-dimensional models based on CT data, reflecting the geometries of the arteries.

As part of the CyberSummer@WUT-3 competition, Stanislaw Tabisz, a student at the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science of the Warsaw University of Technology, prepared a piece of VR software used in therapy for people with intellectual disabilities.

Is it possible to prevent signal interference, which impacts the quality of positioning autonomous cars, among other things? Scientists at the Warsaw University of Technology have been working on such solutions.

A tattoo that monitors a patient's health? It may sound exotic, but not for the scientists from the Faculty of Chemistry of the Warsaw University of Technology, who worked on the development of a reference electrode for an 'electronic tattoo', i.e. a non-invasive analytical device with sensors placed on its surface, as part of the BIOTECHEMED-2 grant.

First, they practiced appearing in front of the camera, then they met with journalists to tell them about their research within 7 minutes. Polytechnic scientists took part in the first edition of Scientists and Journalists Speed Dating at the Warsaw University of Technology, which took place on November 16.

An article with the results of the work of the research team of Dr Witold Rządkowski was published in a prestigious journal that covers all fields of natural sciences. The scientists carried out their project under the BIOTECHMED-2: Start research grant.

During the 8th Smart Development Forum in Uniejów, Dr Artur Kasprzak from the Faculty of Chemistry, working on Magnetic nanoadsorbents comprising sumanene for the selective and effective removal of caesium salts from aqueous solutions or organic wastes, received the Scientist of the Future award for his research.

The KONIK 20th Anniversary Student Gala is behind us. During the event, students from polytechnic student research groups presented the effects of their work on projects implemented under the Rector's Grants.

We would like to invite you to take part in the 4^th edition of the survey of mutual satisfaction with cooperation among WUT employees. The survey is carried out as a part of the “Excellence Initiative – Research University” programme implemented at the Warsaw University of Technology.

A new Local Project Division is being established - LOP InTeCH, covering the Faculty of Chemistry and the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering. The appointment agreement was signed on September 21st.

Professor Artur Janicki uses artificial intelligence methods to support mental illness therapy. His project is carried out as part of a POB SzIR research grant.

As part of the POB CyberDS research grant, experts from the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology of PW focused on devising methods to prevent attacks on the Internet of Things infrastructure aimed at data interception or shutting down network nodes by exhausting their power sources.

Further units of Local Project Divisions (LOPs) are under way.

Most often, when talking about recycled aggregate in the context of concrete technology, we mean a typical orange brick used, for example, to erect walls. Students from the Płock Branch of the Warsaw University of Technology undertook to investigate the properties of recycled concrete composed of sanitary ceramic cullet. The project is implemented as part of the Rector's grant for student research groups.

The Displacement and Deformation Monitoring Laboratory is a teaching infrastructure that will be used by students to perform measurements of horizontal displacement testing and deflection modelling, and to acquire the ability to use terrestrial laser scanning in displacement research, among other things. The laboratory is being constructed as part of a teacher grant.

The Sanitary Installations Laboratory was established at the Faculty of Building Services, Hydro and Environmental Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology. It will enable students to acquire practical skills related to the design of water supply and sewage systems. The laboratory was established as part of the implementation of a teacher grant.

Experts from the Faculty of Physics and the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology conducted a series of training sessions on the technology of using fibre optic sensors to monitor composite structures. The course was run as part of the DEMO-Center competition.

Experts from the Faculty of Mechatronics PW provide courses for companies, medical centres, and research institutes on the use of the latest devices for quantitative phase imaging at the cellular level. The project is implemented as part of the DEMO-Center competition.

In the competition, 16 projects will receive funding.
