Politechnika
Warszawska
(Warsaw University of Technology) is the largest technical university in
Poland, established in 1826, having more than 30,000 students and about 2,500
teaching staff. The education programme covers all fields of technology,
architecture included. It is divided into 17 Faculties, each being divided into
Institutes or Departments. The University takes part in many national and
international research and education activities, in 60 FP5 projects and declared
participation in many FP6.
The
problems of sensors, sustainability of environment and application of computer
science and electronics in these fields have been developed at PW since a long
time. The last activities are: co-ordination of the FP5 R&D project SEWING
(System for European Water Monitoring), which is successfully going on and will
be concluded in August 2004 and COMBAT – Centre of Excellence in the domain of
microsystems, including sensors. Three
Faculties take part in these activities:
·
The Institute of Electronic Systems at the Faculty of Electronics and
Information Technology is involved in research and education in the fields of:
integrated circuits design and optimisation, bio- and medical electronics,
measurements and sensors, microwaves and signal processing.
·
Department of Analytical Chemistry, the Faculty of Chemistry is involved
in chemical sensor theory, fabrication and applications.
·
Faculty of Environment Engineering is involved in applications of these
results in environment monitoring.
So
it can be stated that Politechnika Warszawska is highly qualified in the
research and applications of environment monitoring systems.
Contribution to
CARiMan
We can contribute in the
area of environmental monitoring and related hazard detection (I.MS,I.PD,I.SP,Eh).
Our main expertise in this respect is in design, modelling and characterisation
of chemical, mechanical and other microsensors for environmental monitoring.
Currently we develop CHEMFET sensor technology, modelling and data processing
for the FP5 R&D project named SEWING (System for
European Water Monitoring). However, local sensing of environment
parameters is not sufficient to reliably detect hazards in environment, e.g.
lakes, rivers. For this reason we are looking for integration of a network of
geographically dispersed sensing and data processing units (remote
“intelligent” sensors), models of environment under scrutiny and a
knowledge-based decision support software for robust recognition and
evaluation of environmental hazards.

of professor Andrzej Filipkowski
Andrzej
Filipkowski received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in electronics from
Warsaw University of Technology (WUT), Poland, in 1952, 1954 and 1963
respectively. In 1964 he received
DIC (Diploma of Imperial College, London). In 1972 he received the degree „habilitated
doctor”. Since 1950 he has been employed at WUT, Dept. of Electronics and
Information Technology, passing through all levels of Faculty member, from
teaching assistant up to tenured full professor. His field of research concerns

microsystems. He is author of about 60 papers in journals and conference
proceedings, 6 books and 3 textbooks. 9
years he was director of the Institute of Electronic Systems at the Department
of Electronics, 6 years vice-Rector of WUT. Now retired and is engaged in
international project.
Being member of
Administrative Council of SEFI in 1992-1996, of ELLI since 1996 till 1998 and
having the position of international programs coordinator at WUT since
1996-2001, he contributed significantly in internationalization of Electronic
Engineering education. These contributions were broadly developed in several
TEMPUS, SOCRATES, LEONARDO and FP5 projects, which he coordinated.
He is Fellow of IEEE and of
SEFI.

of dr hab. Leszek J. Opalski
Leszek
J. Opalski received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electronics from the Warsaw
University of Technology (WUT), Warsaw, Poland, in 1978 and 1988, respectively.
In 2003 he received the D.Sc degree („habilitated
doctor”).
Dr
Opalski joined the faculty of the Institute of Electronics Fundamentals
(which is now the Institute of Electronic Systems) at WUT in 1978, and is
now an Assistant Professor. Since 2000 he has been performing duties of
the Head of Electronic Circuits and Systems Division of the Institute.
From
1983-5,
1989-91, in 1995 and in 1997 he was on leave in Texas A&M University, USA,
teaching and doing research on methods, algorithms and tools for circuit
simulation and variability optimization. In 1995 he
became a Motorola University certified lecturer for course
in the Six Sigma series. The course
was translated and presented to Polish electronics industry managers. In
1996 he was a visiting researcher at the Carleton University, Ottawa, Canada,
consulting on an all CMOS digital radio project.
Main
research interests of Dr Opalski
include different aspects of CAD with emphasis on design for quality and
manufacturability, statistical optimisation, modelling and circuit simulation.
In the last several years he has been also actively engaged in research on
CHEMFET based chemical sensing – with emphasis on modelling, characterisation
and data processing (data fusion) – also for a benefit of the SEWING (System
for European Water minitorING) EU project.
Dr
Opalski is
the co-author
of 4 books, 7 journal papers and 60+ conference papers, including 4 invited
papers. Participant of 4 Grants of the (Polish) National Committee of Research (KBN),
several projects sponsored by Texas State Advanced Technology Program,
Semiconductor Research Corporation, Texas Instruments Inc., and a project by Canadian
Strategic Microelectronics Consortium. Recently – he has been very
