Pawel Strumillo received his PhD degree in electrical sciences from the University of Strathclyde, UK. Currently, is the head of the Institute of Electronics and holds the position of full professor at Lodz University of Technology. He has published more than 200 scientific papers and three books on signal and image analysis, computational intelligence and human-computer interaction systems. In 2013, he was the chairman of the International Conference on Auditory Display that was organised for the first time in Poland. In recent years, with his co-workers, he has developed award winning assistive technologies for the disabled, e.g. an electronic travel aid awarded by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development in 2013, commercialized with Orange Labs. He was a member of the steering committee of the HORIZON 2020 project on aiding the visually impaired (2015-2017). He is a Senior Member of the IEEE and currently, he is engaged in the COST Action (CA 18110), and serves on the Management Committee.

Born in a picaresque town of Łęczyca, he studied at the Warsaw University of Technology and was awarded his Master of Science degree in 1972. From 1972 to 1974 he worked for Polish Radio and Television Station in Lodz but he moved to the Technical University of Lodz in 1974 and he has been employed there ever since. He was awarded a PhD in Electronics at TUL and then the post doctoral qualifications of DSc (habilitation) in electronics at Wroclaw University of Technology. In 1996 he became a Professor of Technical Sciences dedicating his research to electronic integrated circuits and signal and image processing. Due to Japanese Government scholarship he was a research fellow at Shizuoka University from 1980-to 1982. He also worked as a senior lecturer at Monash University in Melbourne from1992 to1994.
His scientific interests are focused on:

• Modeling of semiconductor devices
• Medical electronics
• Signal and image processing
• Neural networks

Professor Andrzej Materka is a senior member of Association of Polish Electrical Engineers. He published more than 140 scientific journal and conference papers and he is the author of 4 monographs. From 2002 to 2005 he was also a dean of the Faculty of Electrical Electronic Computer and Control Engineering.
