Dr. Jacek Wawrzosek is a university professor at the University of Life Sciences in Lublin, specializing in applied mathematics and computer science. His research interests include applied mathematics and computer science.
Dr. Przemysław Kowalik is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Quantitative Methods in Management within the Faculty of Management at Lublin University of Technology. He has been employed at the university since 1993, initially working in the Department of Operational Research (1993-2001), then in the Department of Enterprise Organization (2002-2003), before moving to his current department in 2003. Dr. Kowalik's research focuses on mathematical modeling of decision-making situations through linear and non-linear programming, implementation of optimization and econometric models in spreadsheets, mathematical aspects of consumer rights infringement (particularly regarding railway fares and financial products), and investment portfolio theory. His work often bridges theoretical mathematical concepts with practical regulatory and business applications. His recent publications (2011-2018) demonstrate a consistent focus on optimization problems, railway tariff analysis, and econometric modeling. The research shows a progression from theoretical mathematical methods toward increasingly applied work in transportation economics and consumer protection, particularly examining how mathematical models can identify regulatory non-compliance in railway pricing systems. Dr. Kowalik teaches Operational Research and Mathematics courses, including for Erasmus+ international students in English. His educational background includes mathematics studies at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University and a PhD in Management Sciences from AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow. He maintains regular consultation hours for students every Wednesday (10:00-12:00) and provides additional learning materials through his dedicated website, emphasizing practical applications of mathematical methods in business contexts with spreadsheet implementations that make complex techniques accessible to students.
Konrad Kania is a Lecturer at the Department of Quantitative Methods in Management within the Faculty of Management at Lublin University of Technology. He has been working as a researcher and lecturer since 2019, initially at the Faculty of Management at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, and since 2020 at his current department. His research focuses on applied mathematics, mathematical modeling, data analysis, machine learning, and deep learning, with particular emphasis on tomography applications. Kania's work bridges theoretical mathematical approaches with practical industrial implementations, especially in ultrasound and electrical tomography systems. Analysis of his publications from 2019-2021 reveals a strong focus on developing innovative algorithms for image reconstruction in various tomographic systems. His research spans multiple disciplines including computer science, electrical engineering, physics, and industrial applications, with particular emphasis on real-time processing, anomaly detection, and machine learning applications in tomography. Kania teaches statistical methods, optimization methods, mathematics, and seminars on Using R in Quantitative Methods, demonstrating his commitment to both theoretical and applied aspects of quantitative methods in management education.
Krzysztof Groń serves as Assistant Professor at the Department of Design and Qualitative Research in Architecture, Faculty of Architecture, Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, Poland, where he bridges academic research with industrial applications through design innovation. He earned his Doctor of Fine Arts from Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław (2004) with dissertation "Industrial production and the forms of contemporary seats" under Prof. Edward Zielonka. His research integrates Industrial Design, Architecture, and Fine Arts with strong emphasis on Design Thinking implementation in industry. He actively collaborates with producers to transform conceptual designs into mass-produced commercial products while maintaining artistic practice in painting and computer graphics exhibited internationally. His scholarly output includes 108 publications, 20 patents, and 14 commercialized products, supported by bibliometric indicators including Web of Science h-index of 3 and Scopus h-index of 1. Professional recognition includes membership in the Association of Polish Visual Artists and Ergonomics Society, reflecting his interdisciplinary contributions to design theory and practice.
Dr. Katarzyna Wądołowska-Lesner serves as Senior Lecturer at the Institute of Russian and Eastern Studies within the Faculty of Languages at the University of Gdańsk, concurrently holding the position of Deputy Director for Education at the Institute. Her academic career centers on advancing Russian language pedagogy through empirical research on textual comprehension and didactic methodologies. Her educational foundation includes a Master's degree in Russian Philology (2004) and a PhD in Humanities specializing in Linguistics (2013), both earned at the University of Gdańsk. These qualifications underpin her expertise in Slavic linguistics and language education. Wądołowska-Lesner's research focuses on quantifiable aspects of text readability, particularly examining compositional-graphic elements, paragraph structure, and linguistic difficulty metrics in Russian didactic materials. Her work investigates multimedia applications in vocabulary acquisition, silent versus aloud reading comprehension, and cross-linguistic challenges for Polish learners of Russian. This research bridges theoretical linguistics with practical classroom applications, emphasizing empirical validation of teaching strategies. Analysis of her 15 most recent publications reveals a consistent trajectory in text readability research, evolving from foundational studies on paragraph usage (2012) and multimedia tools (2011) toward sophisticated difficulty measurement formulas (2010) and business Russian applications (2008). Her scholarship demonstrates methodological rigor through student-based empirical studies while maintaining strong relevance to Slavic language education curricula. As an active member of the Polish Neophilological Society and the Polish Association of Teachers and Lecturers of the Russian Language, she contributes to national academic discourse. Her service as Deputy Director for Education at the Institute of Russian and Eastern Studies reflects institutional recognition of her administrative capabilities alongside scholarly contributions. While specific grant details are unreported, her sustained publication record indicates consistent research activity within the University of Gdańsk's academic framework.
