Jacek Kitowski

Jacek Kitowski is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Head of International Affairs at ACC Cyfronet, AGH University of Science and Technology. His research focuses on large-scale computations, multiprocessor architectures, and distributed systems, with a strong emphasis on Grid/Cloud services and storage systems. He also explores knowledge engineering and high availability systems.

His work spans interdisciplinary areas, combining computer science with particle physics through collaborations at CERN's LHC. Recent studies include femtoscopic hadron-emission analysis in proton-proton collisions and dielectron production in heavy-ion collisions, contributing to understanding quark-gluon plasma dynamics.

Key research trends involve investigating jet quenching, strangeness enhancement, and event-by-event fluctuations in high-energy collisions. His publications frequently address medium effects in relativistic nuclear collisions and the development of advanced data management systems for cultural heritage digitization.
