Wojciech Turek

Wojciech Turek is a University Professor at the Institute of Computer Science, Faculty of Computer Science, AGH University of Science and Technology in Krakow, Poland. He serves as the Faculty Innovation Broker and is a member of the Disciplinary Council for Technical Information Technology and Telecommunications. His research focuses on agent-based simulation, distributed systems, and robotics.

His research interests span scalable agent-based computing, urban traffic simulation, robot coordination, and high performance computing. He has developed novel design patterns for distributed simulation and has applied his work to domains such as traffic management, pedestrian dynamics, and multi-robot systems. His approach often leverages the actor model and Erlang for building highly scalable systems.

An analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong trend towards scalability and decentralization in simulation and robotics. His work integrates techniques from evolutionary computation, ant colony optimization, and signal propagation to address complex problems in urban environments and robot coordination. He has also explored applications in vehicle safety using mobile phone technology.

Professor Turek holds the position of Faculty Innovation Broker at the Faculty of Computer Science, indicating an active role in technology transfer and innovation within the university. While specific details of his advising and grants are not provided in the available information, his extensive publication record suggests significant research activity.
