He was also professor at the Adam Mickiewicz University, Poznan, Poland, Technische Universität Berlin, Germany, Universität Kaiserslautern, Germany, and visiting professor at the Eidgenossische Technische Hochschule Zürich, Switzerland, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium and Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany. He was a Humboldt Foundation fellow at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Germany.

His scientific interests concentrate on: digital signal processing (digital filters, signal separation, multidimensional systems, wavelet transformation), processing of images, video and audio, multimedia and intelligent vision systems, biometrics, and on artificial intelligence. He is author or co-author of 5 books and over 500 scientific and technical publications. Among them he is one of the co-authors of "The Computer Engineering Handbook" (first edition in 2002, second edition in 2008) bestseller and most frequently cited book of the CRC Press, Boca Raton, USA.

Currently he is Chairman of the Poland Section LMAG (Life Members Affinity Group). In 2020-2023 he was Chairman of the Poland Section, previously he also chaired Signal Processing (SP) and Circuits & Systems (CAS) Chapters of the Poland Section.

In 1995 Professor Adam Dabrowski, as a CAS Chapter Chairman, won the IEEE Chapter of Year Award, New York, USA for the CAS Chapter activities. In 2001 he was also awarded with the diploma for the outstanding position in the IEEE Chapter of the Year Contest, Seattle, USA.

Professor Adam Dabrowski regularly organizes IEEE SPA (Signal Processing Algorithms, Architectures, Arrangements, and Applications) Conferences. In his year there was already the 27th IEEE SPA Conference organized at the Poznan University of Technology Center for Mechatronics, Biomechanics, and Nanoengineering. The IEEE SPA Conference organizers are two Polish IEEE chapters, namely: Circuits and Systems (CAS) Chapter and Signal Processing (SP) Chapter. The main goal of the IEEE SPA Conferences is presentation of the newest achievements in a wide and interdisciplinary areas of signal processing in order integrate various researchers active in these and in related fields of science and technology. The discussed problems cover a wide spectrum of topics including: audio, image, video, and other signal processing applications, techniques, and technologies.

In April 2022, as a local host, Professor Adam Dabrowski co-organized the 118th IEEE Region 8 Committee Meeting in Warsaw. On his initiative, a new successful application of the IEEE Milestone for the first long distance 3-phase AC transmission was prepared.

Tomasz Szmuc of AGH University of Science and Technology

Biography:

Professor Tomasz Szmuc graduated from higher education in 1972 (AGH) - MSc. Eng. Electrical Engineer, specializing in Automation. He obtained his doctorate in 1979 in the discipline of Computer Science, and his postdoctoral degree in 1989. He obtained the title of professor in 1999. From the beginning of his employment, he was associated with the AGH University of Science and Technology, where he moved from the position of assistant to full professor. He was Vice-Dean of the Faculty (1990-1992), Dean 2005-2008, Vice-Rector for Science (2008-2012) and Vice-Rector for Cooperation (2012-2016). In the years 1995-1998 he stayed at INSA Toulouse (France) as an invited professor under the PAST program. My scientific interests have been related to computer science from the beginning, initially more to the control side and concerned discrete industrial processes, and then developed along two main lines: software engineering of real-time systems and formal models and tools for analyzing the properties of concurrent systems, in particular real-time/embedded systems. The research concerned the development of methods/algorithms supporting the creation of correct software. In the theoretical part, the works concerned the linear description of relative correctness, structuring the proof of temporal logic formulas, extensions of time models of colored Petri nets, translation between Petri nets with the CCS algebra, hybrid use of various description methods (Petri nets, rough sets, process algebras). In the applied part, special emphasis was placed on building algorithms for translating artifacts written in a software modeling language (HOOD, UML, SysML) into a formal description written in the language of colored Petri nets or process algebra. The aforementioned translation enables systematic verification/proving of properties during software modeling, which is particularly important for Safety Critical Systems. In recent years, research has focused on two main threads: implementing effective methods for building correct software for embedded systems and analyzing large data sets (Big Data) by combining analytical methods with Deep Learning.

His publications include over 160 items, including 11 books. He has supervised 15 doctoral theses. For many years, he has been a member of the Geoinformatics Commission of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Technical Sciences Commission of the Polish Academy of Sciences and the Computer Science Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
His organizational achievements also include a significant role in the European project EIT-InnoEnergy (http://www.innoenergy.com/), implemented since 2010, concerning the implementation of innovations in the energy sector with an annual budget of 120-150 million euros. He actively participated in preparing the application and building the management structure - a European company with 6 nodes, including a Polish one (InnoEnergy Central Europe) as part of a consortium composed of leading European universities, research units and energy companies. In 2012-16 he also served as thematic coordinator (Thematic Leader) of the Polish node.
In 2015-2024 he was a member of the Board of Directors at EUNIS (European University Information Systems) - an organization coordinating the development of software supporting research, teaching and management for European universities ( http://www.eunis.org/ ).
He is a member of the Board of the Society of Friends of Fine Arts (founded in 1854) and currently serves as deputy treasurer.
He has been a member of IEEE since 1990, and received the Life Member status on January 1, 2021.
