Two researchers from our Faculty have joined Academia Iuvenum.Together with 22 other scientists, they will replace the young researchers who worked in this body since 2021. The official nominations to the new members and letters of acknowledgement to the representatives from the first term of office will be officially presented on 14 July.
Academia Iuvenum (AI) consists of successful researchers from Wroclaw University of Science and Technology (at least one year after obtaining Ph.D. title). Its task is to undertake various initiatives for the University, create a platform for the exchange of scientific ideas, and enable young scientists to express opinions inside and outside the University.
The whole body consists of 48 people. Every year, new 24 people are appointed for a two-year term of office by the Rector, upon the recommendation of the Rector's Committee for Scientific Awards.
Who can join AI?
Members of the Academy may be researchers who obtained a doctoral degree no later than one year before the commencement of their term of office, are under 35 years of age by the commencement of their term of office (in the case of female researchers, this age limit is increased by one year for each child born or adopted) and have significant achievements in their scientific discipline.
AI members can count on a number of benefits that are intended to help them focus on their scientific work, including an additional 50 percent pay rise to their assistant professor salary or reducing the teaching load to 120 hours.
They can also benefit from a program of specialized training and workshops on various issues – incl. effectively obtaining grants, public speaking, contacts with the media or the art of argumentation.
Mogą też korzystać z programu specjalistycznych szkoleń oraz warsztatów z różnych zagadnień m.in. skutecznego pozyskiwania grantów, wystąpień publicznych, kontaktów z mediami czy sztuki argumentowania.

Oto osoby, które zostały powołane na kadencję 2023-2025. Wśród tegorocznych wybranych jest ośmioro badaczy i badaczek, którzy znalaźli się w składzie pierwszej kadencji (te osoby oznaczono gwiazdką)
INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
Mateusz Mądry, BEng, PhD
Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, Department of ICT and Telecommunications
His research interests are related to IoT systems, optic fibre sensors and optical networks.
During his term of office at Academia Iuvenum, he plans to conduct research on optic fibre sensors that can be used as elements monitoring various environmental parameters and forming sensor networks that match the idea of the Internet of Things (IoT). The scientist wants to implement the project with the help of a grant in the Miniatura program.
He considers his most significant scientific achievement to be the development of the world's first optic fibre sensor for simultaneous measurement of temperature and relative humidity. The development and implementation of the sensor prototype was possible owing to the cooperation with Dr. Lourdes Alwis from Edinburgh Napier University and with City University London. The sensor enables precise measurements of temperature and relative humidity and is distinguished by a high optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR>55 dB).
INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY
Róża Goścień, BEng, PhD, DSc
Faculty of Information and Communication Technology, Department of Computer Systems and Networks
In her scientific work, Dr. Goścień has placed great emphasis on the development of effective algorithms for solving the problem of designing transport optical networks (i.e. setting routing rules and network resource allocation).
She has developed a package of models and algorithms to solve any test case by choosing a tool adapted to the available resources and the desired quality of results.
She believes that this interdisciplinary tool is her greatest scientific achievement. The package enabling the design/optimization of real network structures and the development of new network standards and protocols was developed with the use of techniques from among applied mathematics, computer science and telecommunications.
In the near future, she plans to focus on several related research topics, each addressing some most urging global needs and trends. Therefore, she will conduct her research around three topics: environmentally friendly networks and computing, artificial intelligence in the optimization of ICT networks, and artificial intelligence and natural language engineering.
The Academy was also joined by: Dr. Anna Miśniakiewicz from the Faculty of Architecture, Dr. Vishnu Suresh and Dr. Maciej Skowron from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Dr. Klaudia Kozłowska, Dr. Mateusz Dyksik, Dr. Patrycja Łydźba, Dr. Szymon Zelewski from the Faculty of Fundamental Problems of Technology, Dr. Grzegorz Izydorczyk, *Dr. Daria Podstawczyk, Dr. Andrzej Zak, Dr. Sylwia Baluta, *Dr. Jan Zaręba from the Faculty of Chemistry, Dr. Marcin Chwala and Dr. Marcin Czarnecki from the Faculty of Civil Engineering, Dr. Aleksandra Królicka, Dr. Konrad Gruber and Dr. Mateusz Skwarski from the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering, Dr. Cezary Czajkowski from the Faculty of Mechanical and Power Engineering, Dr. Jakub Jurasz from the Faculty of Environmental Engineering, Dr. Dariusz Kosz and Dr. Jakub Ślęzak from the Faculty of Mathematics, Dr. Yash Chawla from the Faculty of Management.
Among the scientists of Academii luvenum, the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology is also represented by Paweł Ksieniewicz, BEng, PhD, DSc from the Department of Computer Systems and Networks and Jan Kocoń, BEng, PhD from the Department of Artificial Intelligence.
