Research: I try to understand how natural and man-made systems processes information. I study this ‘natural information processing’ in complex systems by computational modeling and simulation as well as through formal methods. My work is applied to a large variety of disciplines. Recent work has been on the virology and epidemiology of infectious diseases, notably HIV, through Complex Networks. Award: Leading Scientist Award (3.6 M€) (St. Petersburg, Russian Federation, 2010), largest individual scientific award in the world.
Scientist, inventor, teacher, visionary. Pioneer of artificial organs (artificial heart POLVAD, POLTAH), medical robotics (Robin Heart surgical robot) and methods for optimizing surgical operations by modeling, simulation and virtual reality technology. In 1997-2000 he managed the first simulation project for cardiac surgery. He is the author of the idea and initiator of the ORGANEOM project – human research as a system of interaction between a biological organism and artificial organs. He is responsible in Poland for the European project DIH HERO Robotics in Healthcare.
His current research focuses on the understanding, prediction, and modulation of interactions involving biological macromolecules from a theoretical perspective. His group applies and develops techniques grounded in bioinformatics, computational biology, and computational biophysics.
