DE GRUYTER OPEN DEMONST RATIO MATHEMATICA Vol. X LVIII No 2 2015 W. Domitrz A NOTE ON STANIS LAW JANECZKO Stanislaw Janeczko is one of the leaders of Polish mathematical community. He is an important member of the international singularity theory community. In Poland he is best known for his huge and important organizational work for the mathematical and scientific society. Outside Poland he is well known as an organizer of many international conferences and events, as a major researcher and a collaborator of many mathematicians. Stanislaw Janeczko is a professor of analysis and singularity theory at the Warsaw University of Technology and professor of mathematics at the I nstitute of Mathematics, Polish Academy of Sciences. His research interests include singularity theory, symplectic geometry, differential topology and geometric analysis. Furthermore, since the very beginning of his career, he has been closely related to fundamental problems of physics, chemistry and practical technology. Stanislaw Janeczko was born on 25th August 1953. He studied at the Faculty of P hysics of the University of Warsaw where he obtained the M.Sc. degree in mathematical physics in 1978. At that time he obtained the Smoluchowski award for outstanding study results. In 1981 he obtained the Ph.D. degree in mathematics under the supervision of professor Krzysztof Maurin. Since that year he has been working at Warsaw University of Technology. He created the group of the singularity theory at W UT and he established the Warsaw singularity theory seminar. Since 1994 he has been the head of the Department of Analysis and Singularity T heory-a unique department of this kind in Europe. He obtained habilitation at the Institute of Mathematics of Warsaw University of Technology in 1988. In 1992 he started to work as an associate professor. In 1997 he was awarded the academic title of professor by the P resident of Poland. Since 2003 Stanislaw Janeczko has been working as a full professor at Warsaw University of Technology. He is one of the leading scientists at the University. In 1993 he was elected the Dean of the Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics. The faculty was composed of two scientific units: I nstitute of Mathematics and I nstitute of Physics. During Stanislaw Janeczko's deanship, the research and educational quality of both institutes were significantly improved. T herefore, it was possible to create two new faculties at Warsaw University of Technology: DOl: @ Copyright by Faculty of Mathematics &Jld I nformation S cience, Warsaw U niversity of Technolo gy Unauthenticated Download Date | 7/27/18 11:34 AM
