Not everyone is aware that chemistry - although difficult - is omnipresent in our lives. We deal with it everywhere, and those who recognised this early on became passionate about it. This group includes Aleksandra Topolska, M.Sc., who is pursuing her doctoral thesis in the area of chemical sciences at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School at TUL.
We invite talented first-year students who wish to pursue a research topic of their choice under the guidance of a mentor to apply for the E2TOP programme.
"When it reaches an IQ of 100 or 150, there will be no problem. But when a 1000 or 10,000, what then? This could be humanity's greatest achievement. But at the same time its end," this is what Stephen Hawking said about artificial intelligence. It is undoubtedly one of the fastest growing branches of computer science, and at the same time a very interesting topic of scientific research. Prof. Anna Fabijanska (Hirsh Index 14, about 900 citations, professorship at 39) uses artificial intelligence to analyse digital images, among other things.
]One of the aims of the NCRD's Leader programme is to scientifically solve problems faced by industry. It assumes the transfer of knowledge from the university to the company, as in the case of Lucyna Bilińska, Ph.D., from the Faculty of Process and Environmental Engineering. With a degree in textiles and conducting research in the Department of Molecular Engineering, she is designing a technology for the treatment of textile wastewater, already used in a dyeing plant.
Among the young scientists conducting their research at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School is Lin Fu, a native of China. Under the guidance of Professor Łukasz Kaczmarek, she is working on the development of personalized trapezoidal-metacarpal implants.

Artificial intelligence is a tool that offers almost unlimited possibilities. It is as much an opportunity for development as it is a threat, as Kacper Kubicki, M.Sc., says. He is pursuing his doctoral thesis in the discipline of information and communication technology.
The week of March 10 – to March 16 is going to be special at Lodz University of Technology and it is going to be all about research. Scientists, doctoral candidates and students will have the opportunity to visit our state-of-the-art laboratories, network, learn about what they are currently working on and find out how the most advanced technologies are developed.
Dr inż. Joanna Grzelczyk of the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences, Lodz University of Technology, with a grant from the National Science Center (NCN), conducted research on the health-promoting compounds in green and roasted coffee beans. The results are very interesting.
