Czarlina Resort

Czarlina Holiday Resort has been administered by Gdańsk University of Technology for over 50 years. Generations of the University employees with their families have been spending holidays in the picturesque environment of Kaszubian lakes and forests.

Located in the forest on a large lake, the Resort offers two-week stays from mid-June until mid-September providing on site:

Artificial intelligence in female hands

Agnieszka Mikołajczyk
Agnieszka Mikołajczyk, a PhD student from the Faculty of Electrical and Control Engineering, conducts research on AI algorithms and their Explainable AI. She is the originator and designer of an application that, if installed on a mobile phone, can diagnose skin nevi in terms of neoplastic changes.

Already during her engineering studies, she knew that she wanted to associate her scientific work with social issues. The subject of her engineering thesis was the diagnosis of skin nevi. In this way, an algorithm and an application were created, supported by artificial intelligence, which can be installed on an ordinary computer. The idea turned out to be innovative, and the engineering work was awarded in the "Innovative Young" competition organized by the PIAP Industrial Institute for Automation and Measurements.

Another edition of the prestigious Red Rose Competition 2021 has started in the ‘best student’ category and in the ‘best research club’ category of the Pomeranian Voivodeship, organized by the Red Rose Association, with the participation of universities operating in the Pomerania region.

Each person studying at the second cycle of education at Gdańsk University of Technology who obtained a high average grade for academic performance (for the previous 2 semesters), has scientific, sports or artistic achievements, is socially active and is able to publicly present their achievements from the period of higher education has a chance to become the ‘best student’ of Gdańsk University of Technology in 2021 and apply for the Red Rose Laurel at the Inter University Stage, in which the best student from among the best students gets a passenger

‘We want to give Poles one million additional years of healthy life.’ Interview with Łukasz Osowski [#LudziePG, part 5]

ossowski
Together with his colleagues, he amazed the world by creating Ivona - the best speech synthesizer on the market at that time. Currently, he is working on another product that is to revolutionize health habits: initially of Poles, and then of people around the world. We are talking to Łukasz Osowski, a graduate of the Gdańsk Tech ETI Faculty and CEO of Lab4Life, about the road to success, ambition, happiness and the consequences of the decisions made.

Maciej Dzwonnik, Gdańsk Tech spokesman:  The world heard about you shortly after you graduated from Gdańsk Tech, around 2006, when you and your team created Ivona - the best speech synthesizer at that time. It turned out then that a small team of engineers from Gdańsk managed to build a better product than the giants from IBM.

How to verify that your dog is not human? Scientists from Gdańsk are working on it

Albert's team
Albert is a dog (Canis familiaris), but he is not aware of it. Moreover, he loves human food (and beer), watching movies online, sleeping in bed, though he shouldn't be doing all of these things. To convince him of this, an interdisciplinary team of scientists from Gdańsk University of Technology, the University of Gdańsk and the Medical University of Gdańsk, i.e. universities making up the Fahrenheit University Association, designed a test procedure that allows for quick detection of the DEFB1 gene unique to humans in a saliva sample. The solution may not only affect the bad habits of Albert the pug, but also prove useful in diagnostics and forensics.

Currently used methods that allow to determine the concentration of the human genome usually require duplication of DNA material (e.g. in the polymerase chain reaction - PCR), which makes them complicated and time-consuming, and the result often depends on human error - emphasize Gdańsk scientists in the article entitled ‘Multisine impedimetric probing of biocatalytic reactions for label-free detection of DEFB1 gene: How to verify that your dog is not human?’ on the pages of Sensors & Actuators: B. Chemical (IF = 7.1).
