Dr Marta Mazurkiewicz-Pawlicka from the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering has just returned from a one-year postdoctoral fellowship at RWTH Aachen University. She worked there under the supervision of Prof. Anna Mechler – an expert in electrochemistry and the head of the Electrochemical Reaction Engineering Chair, operating within the Aachener Verfahrenstechnik research institute. The ERT team investigates electrochemical processes occurring in fuel cells (conversion of chemical energy into electrical energy) and in electrolytic processes (conversion of electrical energy into chemical energy).
Kerem Altun from the Faculty of Civil Engineering at the Warsaw University of Technology completed a two-month internship at the CERN research centre. He worked in the SCE-FS (Site and Civil Engineering – Future Studies) team, which is responsible for planning and overseeing all future particle colliders.
As many as 83 representatives of the Warsaw University of Technology have been included in this year's edition of the World's TOP 2% Scientists ranking. This is an improvement over last year's result, when 77 of our researchers were listed. The ranking, prepared by Stanford University in collaboration with Elsevier, showcases scientists whose work has the greatest impact on the development of global science.
Józef Koszewski, Zuzanna Kluczek, and Łukasz Cieszyński from the Kyrion Student Research Group at the Warsaw University of Technology have established cooperation with scientists from the Mineral-X group at Stanford University. Our students became involved in developing an algorithm used in the analysis of critical materials. And it all started with… a single interview.
Julia Pigłowska and Jeremi Kozakiewicz from the Student Research Group of Spatial Management at the Faculty of Geodesy and Cartography, Warsaw University of Technology, took part in archaeological excavations in Sacsayhuamán, Peru, conducted by the Centre for Andean Studies of the University of Warsaw.
The WaterSense – ASIR project, aimed at developing and introducing to the market an innovative water quality monitoring system in Poland, has been awarded the runner-up title in the national stage of the international James Dyson Award competition. Thanks to its innovative technology, the system enables continuous, precise, and fully automated water quality monitoring.
