Lukasz Zielonka is a Professor at the University of Warmia and Mazury (UWM) within the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine, specializing in the Department of Veterinary Prevention and Feed Hygiene. With over 97 publications and an H-index of 22 (WoS/Scopus), his research bridges veterinary toxicology and computational geometry. His work investigates mycotoxin interactions in livestock, particularly zearalenone and deoxynivalenol, while also advancing 2D/3D packing algorithms. He supervises 2 doctoral students and has promoted 2 doctors, supported by project funds and advanced lab infrastructure including cell culture facilities and LC-MS detectors. Current promoter for doctoral candidates Active researcher in Veterinary Medicine and Mathematics Research Interests Zielonka's veterinary research focuses on mycotoxin effects on livestock physiology, hormone homeostasis, and intestinal health, with applications in feed safety and animal welfare. His computational work explores perfect packing problems , optimizing geometric arrangements for squares, cubes, and polygons. Recent studies combine both fields through in vivo and in vitro models alongside algorithmic innovations. Publications 2024–2025 articles highlight zearalenone's impact on human cancer patients, deoxynivalenol biodegradation via insect biomass, and mathematical breakthroughs in hypercube packing. His 15 most recent works span Veterinary Medicine, Toxicology, and Computational Geometry, reflecting interdisciplinary expertise. Laboratory Infrastructure The laboratory provides cell culture facilities, TEER meter, ELISA reader, and QQQ LC-MS for analyzing mycotoxin metabolism, hormonal changes, and tissue interactions.
