was born in Gliwice, Poland, in 1965. He studied electrical engineering at the Higher College of Engineering in Zielona Góra, Poland, from which he graduated in 1989. He received Ph.D. (1992) and D.Sc. (2000) degrees in automatic control and robotics from the Technical University of Wrocław, Poland. In 2007 he was conferred the title of state professor, the highest scientific degree in Poland. He is currently a full professor at the University of Zielona Góra, Poland. His major activities have been concentrated on measurement optimization for parameter estimation of systems modelled by partial differential equations. In 2005 his comprehensive and widely cited monograph entitled "Optimal Measurement Methods for Distributed Parameter System Identification" was published by CRC Press in Boca Raton, FL. Due to his contribution to optimum experimental design, he is regularly featured in the Stanford/Elsevier's Top 2% Scientist Ranking. Other areas of expertise include optimal control, robotics, parallel computing and machine learning.
