Two doctoral candidates from the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) - Emilia Wdowiak and Piotr Arcab - have been honoured with the 2025 Optics and Photonics Scholarships by SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics. The awards recognise their significant scientific contributions to the field and their exceptional potential for future advancements. They are Poland's only recipients of this prestigious scholarship in 2025.
On June 1, 2025, the Centre for Credible AI (CCAI) officially commenced operations at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT). This new research unit addresses the critical need to develop AI systems that are not only effective but also transparent, controllable, and verifiable. The Centre is led by Prof. Przemysław Biecek from the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science.
Twardowsky 2—the largest rocket in the history of the Warsaw University of Technology (WUT) Students’ Space Association—has been officially unveiled. Its primary mission is to deliver a CubeSat payload (a miniature satellite) to an altitude of up to 9 kilometres. The students also aim to showcase their upgraded hybrid engine and test several new technical solutions.
Two-dimensional (2D) materials are a key research focus for physicists at Warsaw University of Technology (WUT). Recently, the team gained access to cutting-edge industrial-grade equipment for synthesizing 2D materials and their heterostructures. The LATTICE Laboratory (Laboratory for Advanced Technologies in Two-Dimensional Crystal Epitaxy) operates within CEZAMAT.
A team from the Faculty of Chemical and Process Engineering led by Michał Wojasiński, PhD, will carry out the project “Ceramic biomimetic porous structure with bioactive hydrogel-hydroxyapatite filling for increased osseointegration” (acronym: Oss3H). The project received funding under the 12th Polish-Taiwanese competition for bilateral research projects, organized by Poland’s National Centre for Research and Development.
At the beginning of 2025, the three-year international project CoVHer (Computer-based Visualization of Architectural Cultural Heritage) was completed. The initiative brought together universities and institutions from five countries to work on new methods of digital reconstruction of historical monuments. Among the project partners was the Warsaw University of Technology, represented by a team of researchers from the Faculty of Architecture.
