Sleepless nights, constant brainstorming sessions and hectoliters of coffee – this is how the Proton Dynamic team members summed up the two-year process which led them to achieve their desired goal, that is the creation of the Student Formula electric bolide.

Talented secondary school students from several dozen countries are competing against each other in 2019 International Young Physicists’ Tournament (IYPT), or a team-oriented competition asking the contestants to creatively solve the proposed problems in physics. The Warsaw University of Technology is the host of this year’s event.

Scientists of the Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Chemistry and Process Engineering use graphene oxide and graphene-related compounds to develop new materials for infrared radiation protection. Their IR-GRAPH Project was funded by the National Centre for Research and Development (NCBR).

The world’s best universities in 54 academic subjects have been revealed. The Warsaw University of Technology was included in the ranking list for eight academic subjects: mathematics, physics, mechanical engineering, electrical and electronic engineering, telecommunication engineering, instruments science and technology, metallurgical engineering and chemical engineering.

A team from the Vehicle Aerodynamics Students’ Club of the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering will take part in Shell Eco-marathon, to be held in Weybridge, near London, between 2 and 5 July 2019.

This is a ranking of the world’s top universities.

Dull, boring, hard or even irrelevant or devoid of reality in the form we know it from school handbooks. These are the common conceptions of mathematics. Can you break that stereotype? Yes, you can! Scientists of the Warsaw University of Technology do just this.

What solutions do students test in their vehicles?

Beside the Robotics Student Research Group, this year’s University Rover Challenge finals will see the representatives of the Astronautic Student Research Group (“SKA”). We sat with Michał Hałoń, the Autonomy Team Leader, to ask him about the preparations for the event at SKA and what can be expected of their rover, Sirius.

The Warsaw University of Technology will be represented by as many as two teams in this year’s University Rover Challenge Finals, an international competition of student-built Mars rovers. The qualified teams both operate at the Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering; these are the Robotics Student Research Group (“KNR”) and the Astronautic Student Research Group (“SKA”). We sat with Jacek Prokopczuk (KNR Leader) and Damian Mucha (Deputy Leader for Collaboration) to ask them about getting ready for the competition scheduled to run from May 30 to June 1.

An update on the innovative project

No piece of wisdom goes to waste at the Chemical and Process Engineering Student Research Group (KN IChiP). The accumulated knowledge and experience pass from generation to generation of members. Perhaps, this is the key to the growing popularity of their annual multidisciplinary European Young Engineers Conference. We sat to talk about this event with Olga (Coordinator of the 8th EYEC), Justyna (Social Media Coordinator and Board Member of KN IChiP) and Hania (Logistics Coordinator).

The recently won cups are proof that the team of the WUT SiMRacing Student Research Group operating at the Faculty of Automotive and Construction Machine Engineering (SiMR) have done a great job on their racing motorcycle.

Developed by a team of the Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology, the Comixify algorithm for converting video to comic is a real hit. The authors have been very busy over the last few months advancing their project and it has already claimed some awards.

A team led by Agnieszka Siemion, Ph.D., Eng., of the Warsaw University of Technology Faculty of Physics is working on optical systems for a real-time human skin imaging device designed to detect cancer lesions. The T-SKIN project received funding under the LEADER Program managed by the National Centre for Research and Development.

Scientists, business and technology parks of eight countries along the Baltic shores are working on a project known as BalticLSC (Baltic Large-Scale Computing) to improve the efficient use of high-performance computing. The Warsaw University of Technology is the Consortium Leader.

WUT graduate involved in a breakthrough astrophysics project

The competition is scheduled to run from May 30 through June 1, 2019

Two first places, one runner-up and three third places are the results achieved by the team of the Warsaw University of Technology in the competition for students engaged in unmanned aerial vehicle design and construction.

Students of the Warsaw University of Technology went to California but not for holiday. Instead, they were working hard – improving and testing the aircraft they have designed and built over the last few months – to prepare for SAE Aero Design competition. As it turned out, their performance was excellent.

The Warsaw University of Technology is among the few Europe’s scientific centers that not only conduct research into graphene and new two-dimensional materials, but also develop graphene-enabled applications.

Institutions and individuals that push forward the space technology industry in Poland have been honored in the competition “Konstelacje 2018” promoted by the Industrial Development Agency (Agencja Rozwoju Przemysłu S.A., or ARP S.A.). The winners included the Astronautic Student Research Group operating at the WUT Faculty of Power and Aeronautical Engineering.

Two papers by Marcel Młyńczak, MEng, PhD from the Faculty of Mechatronics at the Warsaw University of Technology, and Hubert Krysztofiak, MD, PhD from the M. Mossakowski Medical Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the National Centre of Sports Medicine, have recently been published in “Frontiers in Physiology” – a leading physiology journal (IF = 3,394).

Composed mainly of students of the Warsaw University of Technology, the DigiDocs Team were runners-up at the Global Legal Hackathon. Poland was represented by 17 teams in the event.
