Sylwia Stachowiak

Sylwia Stachowiak serves as an Assistant Professor at SWPS University within the Faculty of Design in Warsaw and the Department of Mathematics and Logic. Holding a Doctor of Engineering degree in information and communication technology, she bridges theoretical computer science with practical security applications through her research and teaching.

Her research specializes in formal methods for analyzing computer network security systems, with particular focus on cryptanalysis of symmetric ciphers using computational techniques for solving Boolean satisfiability problems (SAT). This work represents a critical intersection of theoretical mathematics and real-world security solutions, emphasizing rigorous mathematical approaches to vulnerability assessment.

Dr. Stachowiak contributed to a significant 2020 National Centre for Research and Development project (POIR.01.01.01-00-0829/18-00) conducted with the Institute of Computer Science of the Polish Academy of Sciences, developing secure communication protocols for the Warsaw Stock Exchange. Her teaching portfolio comprehensively covers foundational computer science subjects including cryptography and number theory, logic and set theory, discrete mathematics, and algorithms and data structures, reflecting her dual expertise in mathematics and computer science.
