Dariusz Makowski received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Lodz University of Technology in 2001 and 2006, respectively, and the D.Sc. degree in electronics in 2018. D.Sc. Dariusz Makowski is conducting pioneering research in development of new complex and scalable hardware as well as software architectures for data acquisition and processing systems. He developed a new methodology for designing data acquisition and control systems that fulfils particular large-scale physics requirements. The research is conducted in a close collaboration with international research institutions such as: DESY (Germany), ITER (France), ESS (Sweden), KIT i HZDR (Germany), SLAC (USA) and IPP (Germany). D.Sc. Dariusz Makowski was leading a scientific team at the Department of Microelectronics and Computer Science (DMCS) of the Lodz University of Technology cooperating with DESY scientific research centre in 2008–2011. Since 2010, he has been in charge of cooperating with the ITER organisation, and since 2012 he has been the head of a working group conducting research together with the DESY on control and data acquisition systems. Since 2016, he is a group leader of the team carrying out research together with ESS scientists on the piezoelectric actuators control systems. He received the prestigious Prime Minister of Poland award for the best PhD thesis in 2008.
