Will the same washing powder bought in Poland and Germany wash the same amount of stains? Researchers carrying out the Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain for Product Quality and Safety System (SALUS) project will help answer this question. The work is led by Assoc. Prof. Aneta Poniszewska-Marańda, at TUL.
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.
Tomatoes are one of the most popular vegetables in the world, so optimal growing conditions are of great importance. In view of the increasing demand for edible plants and environmental changes, work in the field of food technology and nutrition is badly needed. Katarzyna Włodarczyk, M.Sc., is conducting her research in this area.
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.
Safety is a key issue in the construction industry. The responsibility of constructors for the buildings they commission requires sound theoretical knowledge reinforced by experience gained on site. This two-pronged approach benefits both theory and practice, and is led by Rafal Bredow, M.Sc.
The Interdisciplinary Doctoral School at TUL offers training in 12 scientific disciplines. It is a place to pursue research passions and develop your scientific career. As part of the STER programme, the series "Steer your future with IDS" is being launched, in which you will be able to get to know the Doctoral School of Lodz University of Technology better and learn more about the inspiring stories of doctoral candidates.
Lodz University of Technology and the Medical University of Lodz conduct many collaborative projects and research, which is why the rectors of the two universities resolved last year to formally recognize these shared efforts. They announced a competition for the best publication co-authored by scientists from TUL and UMed. Now scientists have been invited to participate in the second edition of the competition.
Research aimed at effective cancer treatment is conducted by specialists in many fields. This is also the aim of Katarzyna Wojtera, M.Sc., who is pursuing her doctorate in the discipline of automation, electronic and electrical engineering and space technology, at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School.
"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.
Chemical engineering is another discipline on offer at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School. Welcome to a new episode in the series "Steer your future with IDS".
Reducing carbon dioxide emissions is one of the biggest challenges facing civilisation. Dawid Zawadzki, M.Sc., who is designing a compact CO2 absorption device, wants to make his contribution to solving this problem. In the future, it could be used on oil platforms or ships.
]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.
Advertising makes the trade go round, but emotions are at the beginning of the purchasing decision. They play a key role before the consumer decides to pay for a product. The advertising industry tries to exploit this by influencing our choices. Kamil Lubinski, M.Sc., from the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School, investigates nostalgic brand image management in the toy industry.
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.
The queen of the sciences - mathematics is another discipline on offer at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School. Welcome to a new episode in the series 'Steer your future with IDS'.
