A team led by Dr Katarzyna Rędzińska of Warsaw University of Technology is among the winners of the BiodivTransform competition, receiving funding to carry out an international research project.
In South Korea Polish architects presented one of the most celebrated projects of recent years – the Akcja “Burza” Park located on the Warsaw Uprising Mound. One of the project’s authors, Maciej Kaufman, who teaches at the Faculty of Architecture of Warsaw University of Technology, represented our university atthe 5th Seoul Biennale of Architecture and Urbanism and at two prestigious Korean universities: Seoul National University and Hanyang University.
Retinal detachment is one of the most serious ophthalmic emergencies and, without prompt intervention, leads to loss of vision. For more than half a century, the standard treatment has been scleral buckling – a surgical procedure in which a silicone band is placed around the eye to indent the wall at the site of the retinal tear. Although effective, the method is associated with numerous complications, ranging from myopia to infections and the need for additional surgeries to remove the implant.
Students of the Faculty of Architecture enrolled in the English‑medium course Contemporary Building Materials visited the Faculty of Civil Engineering, where they worked with architectural concrete, creating their own sculptural forms. The joint workshop offered an opportunity for creative experimentation and an important lesson in interdisciplinary collaboration.
Researchers from the Institute of Radioelectronics and Multimedia Technology at the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology are involved in the T2K experiment in Japan. A joint analysis of neutrino‑oscillation data from the T2K experiment and the NOvA experiment in the United States has been published in the prestigious journal Nature. The publication was co‑authored by Dr Robert Kurjata, Dr Andrzej Rychter, Dr Marcin Ziembicki and Krzysztof Dygnarowicz, Msc.
The team led by Prof. Artur Kasprzak from the Faculty of Chemistry conducts research in the field of mechanochemistry, which is one of the fastest‑growing techniques in organic synthesis. For their work, the researchers needed a ball mill. They built one themselves: it is cheaper than commercially available solutions and offers new capabilities.
