A large part of society is already aware of how important a healthy diet is in our lives. However, we still have problems with the right choice of food and good quality products containing the so-called "good fats" that have a huge impact on our health. Researchers from the Institute of Food Technology and Analysis of Lodz University of Technology under the direction of Professor Grażyna Budryn have successfully taken up the challenge of implementing zero trans fats in the production of many types of food. New technologies and patents have been developed, making it possible, among other things, to produce the healthy sweet snacks that Prof. Budryn talks about.
Scientific news
Participation in “The Excellence Initiative- Research University” programme has so far given TUL an additional budget of PLN 6,5 million. The university subsidy has been increased by 2% of the tax subsidy. The finances obtained from the Ministry enabled the university authorities to introduce new activities to raise the research quality at TUL. One of them is a system of awards supporting scientific excellence of employees, also doctoral students and students
Lodz University of Technology has received 450,000 euros in funding from the Erasmus + programme to coordinate and implement two international projects: HEART and Ready, Teady, Go! Both projects are part of long-term activities of the Human-Centered Robotics Laboratory at the Institute of Automatic Control of Lodz University of Technology, which develops robotic tools for humans.
The project concerns an extremely important topic: data protection in cloud applications. A team of scientists from the Institute of Information Technology at TUL and specialists from the LTC company intend to develop a new technology using artificial intelligence algorithms and Data Science. The National Centre for Research and Development has granted a 2.5 million PLN grant from the Operational Programme "Intelligent Development" for this purpose.
A joint project of Lodz University of Technology and the Polish Mother's Memorial Hospital - Research Institute, MDB-Medical Data Bank, is an answer to the diagnosed problem of difficult or even impossible digital access to attractive and unique medical data, such as histopathology.
The President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda, granted the title of professor of engineering sciences to Assoc. Prof. Eng. Dorota Kręgiel, from the Faculty of Biotechnology and Food Sciences and Assoc. Prof. Eng. Marcin Janicki, from the Faculty of Electrical, Electronic, Computer and Control Engineering
The programme aims to create conditions for the development of cooperation of entities of the higher education system and science with the socio-economic environment, carried out within doctoral schools and consisting in educating doctoral candidates in cooperation with entrepreneurs or other entities employing them. The effect will be the implementation of these results of research activities carried out by doctoral students in these entities.
Nuclear power still raises many doubts, which is why the voice of experts is so important. Andrzej Gąsiorowski, M.Sc., a doctoral student at the Faculty of Chemistry, conducts research aimed at increasing safety of work with ionizing radiation. He is a graduate of Chemical Technology at TUL, he participated in NCN and NCBR projects. He is a scholarship holder of the Polish Society for Radiation Research. He took part in a training and internship trip to Spain in the field of nuclear energy, as well as in technical trips to the nuclear sector in France and Germany.
In his work he perfectly combines theoretical knowledge with experience gained on the construction site. He uses this in his research, which aims to determine the reliability of structures such as halls and masts. Rafał Bredow, MSc. is the winner of, among others, the Prof. Kuczyński Award for the best thesis in the field of construction and continues his education at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School at Lodz University of Technology.
In a laboratory room she feels like a child in a toy shop. Being passionate about physics, she is now pursuing her doctoral degree at the Interdisciplinary Doctoral School ISD. She is part of a research group led by Prof. Tomasz Czyszanowski, where she deals with VCSEL lasers widely applied in medicine or electronics, for example. Weronika Głowadzka has connections with the Institute of Physics at Lodz University of Technology and has been gaining international experience during internships and visits at European universities. Her aim is to create a future technology that would be used to quickly analyze the blood of patients or the air that they breathe.
The Rector of Lodz University of Technology, Professor Krzysztof Jóźwik, announces new competitions which are designed to stimulate the research activities of employees and students and to promote outstanding scientific achievements of the University's staff. The deadline for applications is 23 April.
A student of Interdisciplinary Doctoral School, TUL is working on a linguistic database method with applications in cyber security, medicine, and commerce.
Together with Prof. Adam Niewiadomski, she co-authored an article published in the Journal of Applied Computer Science. She was also awarded Minister of Science and Higher Education scholarship for outstanding scientific achievements.
Chemical science is a very broad field that can be applied in areas such as product authentication and medical diagnostics. One of the tools used by scientists is nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. This is the area in which dr inż. Barbara Pacholczyk-Sienicka, a member of Prof. Lukasz Albrecht's research team, works.
On 20 January dr. hab. inż. Ryszard Pawlak from the Faculty of Electrical, Electronic, Computer and Control Engineering at TUL was awarded professorship by the President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda.
International Women and Girls in Science Day (11.02) is a good opportunity to show how Lodz University of Technology - a modern technical university aspiring to become a research university - compares to the growing statistics on female employment and perspectives for their scientific development.
