Prof. Czesław Smutnicki is the Dean and Head of the Department of Computer Engineering at the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, Wrocław University of Science and Technology. His research focuses on manufacturing systems, operations research, and optimization, with a particular emphasis on scheduling algorithms and metaheuristics. Current Position: Dean, Department of Computer Engineering Institution: Wrocław University of Science and Technology Research Areas: Cyclic scheduling, Lagrangian relaxation, quantum annealing, and multi-criteria optimization Recent publications show a trajectory from classical scheduling (1996-2018) to modern applications involving quantum computing and distributed systems. The articles cluster around three main themes: (1) quantum-enhanced scheduling optimization, (2) Lagrangian relaxation techniques for tardiness minimization, and (3) robust scheduling under uncertainty in multi-vehicle/worker environments.
