Week 1 (20-26 October): Self-Presentation
Write here a few sentences about yourself.
Why did you decide to continue your education? What do you specialise in? What research would you like to do/are you doing? How are you planning to conduct it?
A few sentences about myself My name is Robert and I`m in mid-thirties. I am a state fire officer since I completed bachelor degree (BSc/BA) in the Main School of Fire Service (MSoFS, 2002) and second degree (MA/M.Sc, 2005). Both on the field of fire safety engineering. I completed postgraduate study in Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology (2007) and PhD PROGRAM in The Military Technical University in Warsaw (2011) as well. I completed third degree study but without PhD diploma. I used to work as a graduate assistant, the Head of Information Decision Support Systems Laboratory and a lecturer in the MSoFS. Nowadays, I work for the Operational Data Processing Department in the Headquarters of The State Fire Service (SFS) in Warsaw. I`m specializing in statistical data analysis connected with SFS operational ACTIVITIES (e.g. fires, local hazards, car crashes, fire victims, injured, etc.) on the state and province level. To do it I work with SQL on ORACLE database and GIS mapping (Geographical Information System). Why did I decide to continue my education? In 2007 I realized that I like learning, teaching, exploring and analyzing as well. I haven`t left science for 8 long years. I like it. Moreover, somebody said the strength of body came from our brain so, frankly speaking, I`m in a very good physical and mental condition. What am I specializing in? I`m specializing in research on the field of fire hazards, especially dwelling fire hazards in a huge municipal areas. To do it I base on SFS statistical data and GIS technology. What research am I doing? I wrote 4 scientific papers for Safety & Fire Technique (Fire Protection Scientific Centre - State Research Institute) called “Assessment of safety level in aspect of 2007-2012 statistics”. It is a kind of introduction to research and consists of: Part 1 – Fires. Part 2 – Local emergencies. Part 3 – Spatial-temporal characteristic of housing fires in geographical information system. Warsaw case study. Part 4 – Statistical analysis of housing fires causes on the state and city level. How am I planning to conduct it? There are some predicators that determine dwelling fire hazards level. Based on Warsaw cross section I divided the part of the city into computing grid. Then, I would like to build estimation rules-based model for dwelling fire hazard. I am going to check the correlation between selected predicators and total number of dwelling fires. One of the selected factors are as follows: the number of men, women in different age classes, the total dwelling surface, the mean building age, the crime classes indexes. Generally, I`d like to join statistical computer modelling with fire safety engineering to built the model.
Hello, my name is Joanna. I’ve started my education in The University of Warsaw, where I made Master’s degree in Computer Science and Econometrics. After that I had one year break and decided to continue my education on Postgraduate Study in the Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology – Databases and applications, and now on PhD studies. I started new studies and new specialization in order to change the area of my work. I used to work in risk department for four years. I was responsible for building models increasing fraud detection and catching fraudsters taking cash loans with no intention to pay back. Once I was given a task witch changed everything. We needed new database and I was supposed to build it and administrate. I got interested in it. While studies of databases I learned about data warehouses. One day after finishing postgraduate studies I was hired as a system analyst and data warehouse administrator. My aim is not only to specialize in warehouses but also to develop as a programmer.
Hi, my name is Wiktor and I am working on my PhD at the department of software engineering. I'm on the third year of these studies. Earlier this week, I attended a workshop organized by our school, where I presented a paper that I've written and submitted. I also had a chance to see some presentations from other students and about online research platforms, which was interesting. My research area is transactions for object databases. As always, I'm looking forward to reading your comments about all the topics that we are going to discuss here.
Hi, my name is Wojtek and I have just started my first year of PhD studies at Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology. I have graduated a few years ago from Warsaw University of Technology where I received my diploma (MSc) in IT. I also became a BA in Management at Warsaw School of Economics. In my professional career I have gravitated towards project management in the IT area. Privately I am interested in Big Data concepts and that is the reason I decided to pursue my PhD degree – to grow and develop in the area of artificial intelligence, machine learning and data science. I am planning devote my research to predictive analysis in medical applications.
My name is Piotr Wójcik and I’m a Software Engineer in leading world’s outsourcing company. I completed master degree Computer Science and specialize in Developing and Programming Computer Systems. Then I graduated on two postgraduate studies in Management in the Health Care and Databases and Data Analysis. I enrolled in PhD studies because I realized that there more topics to study about artificial intelligence and neural networks than in master degree university program. I hope not only to deepen my actual knowledge in those fields but also to develop profit-making product after my current studies.
As I mentioned earlier, I specialize in artificial intelligence. Most of my time I invested in neural networks study. Also I'm familiar with machine learning and pattern recognition.
I hope to use my database and neural network experience and expertise more in other fields to achieve something new. So in following next four years I need not only to improve my knowledge but also to do my research in fields of machine learning, big data, pattern and video recognition.
Hello, my name is Michail. In 2013 I received my MSc in IT at the then Polish-Japanese Institute of Information Technology (PJIIT). Currently I am on the 2nd semester of PhD studies at the Polish-Japanese Academy of Information Technology (PJAIT). At first I wasn't sure whether I want to continue my education but I like taking up challenges and this one offered many benefits, so I accepted it. I also look at it as a major investment for the future in many aspects of my life. The fields that I am conversant with the most are mobile networks and system development. At present I am working on a blend of those with decision support, risk analysis, quality of service, quality of experience, security, context and trust management. I am on an early stage where at first I need to constitute some conceptual ideas for which I'll have to develop a proof of concept (working implementation) and basing on its operation present the results.
my name is Piotr and I’m 23. I've just finished my master studies at PJATK and I’ve started my PhD right away. Education was always important for me and I find a lot of joy in expanding my knowledge.
I work as a Java EE web application developer for major corporations. Apart from my interest in computer science I’m also one year away from getting my masters from social psychology on SWPS Warsaw. There I research processing fluency in online marketing. In my free time, I lead the development of a cooperative company with my friends. We plan to verify multiple business ideas and proceed to build startups based on those most lucrative. You can check how we work on http://pepeshka.pl. As you can guess I’m an quite overwhelmed with work but I have two awesome cats to support me. ;)
Both my masters and engineeering projects involved advanced algorithms supporting decision making. I’ve been always interested in neuroscience, psychology and working on alogrithms inspired by nature. That’s why I’ve decided to continue my studies and start working on subject of neural simulations in visual cortex. I work with MIT project that simulates newest neuroscience findings on that subject. The plan is to expand it with accurate anatomical connections that can be found in visual cortex. Data is comming from measurements performed on Maccaque monkeys. I have access to all the source code and documentation so I ‘just’ have to analyze it perfectly and challenge different models with improvements that increase biological plausibility.
Hi my name is Kris I work like a Solution Architect I design systems.I'm on the third year of these studies.My research area is graph databases I will try to propose schema for this type of databases.
Hi, My name is Łukasz. I'm 24 years old. I have a master's degree of the informatics science. I graduated from the John Paul II Catholic University of Lublin. Topic in my master's job is "programming mobile robot". I decide continue education because I like new challenges. I work in the IdeaBank as a programmer. Now I designs robotic-mower for using in my garden:) I am interested in robotics, electronics and programming. My dream is build small and simple cnc miller.
