Piotr Kopniak

Piotr Kopniak is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, Lublin University of Technology. He conducts research in image processing, motion capture, traffic analysis, steganography, and software development, with applications in digital heritage, accessibility, and intelligent transport systems.

His research interests span applied computer science with strong interdisciplinary components. Key areas include image processing and computer vision for motion analysis, steganography in information security, and software engineering using Java, mobile, and web technologies. He applies these to real-world challenges such as 3D digitization of cultural dances, creating digital twins for the visually impaired, and expanding traffic monitoring infrastructure.

Dr. Kopniak is actively involved in multiple ongoing projects, including the T1DCoach system, the Universal Design initiative, and the 10th Scientific Expedition to Central Asia using 3D technology. He leads seminars, offers regular consultations, and contributes to the Movement Acquisition and Analysis Laboratory. His work integrates research, teaching, and societal impact, particularly in preserving intangible cultural heritage and promoting inclusive technology.
