Barbara Strug

Dr. Barbara Strug is an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, Jagiellonian University. She specializes in computer-aided design, graph theory, and ontology engineering, with a focus on applications in architecture and engineering. Her work integrates machine learning, BIM technology, and evolutionary algorithms to solve complex design and optimization problems.

Research interests include:

• Graph-based design systems
• Semantic integration of data
• Generative architectural design
• Building information modeling (BIM)
• Multi-agent systems in design collaboration

Recent publications focus on ontology-based data integration for rare diseases, BIM-driven machine learning applications, and generative design methods using graph transformations. She has contributed to over 50 peer-reviewed articles in journals like Automation in Construction and Expert Systems with Applications.

Prof. Strug collaborates with institutions like the POLVAS project for rare disease research and has developed tools like GraphTool for visual design support. Her work emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches combining computer science with engineering and architecture.
