Professor Jan Awrejcewicz (Scientific discipline: Mechanical Engineering, no. of publications in 2013-2017: 147; international cooperation: 49.7%; h-index: 25). In 1994, he received the title of Professor. In 1998, he founded the Department of Automation, Biomechanics, and Mechatronics. He has managed the EU programs TEMPRA, POLONIM, SOCRATES/ERASMUS and 17 research projects of the State Committee for Scientific Research (KBN) and the Ministry of Science and Higher Education (MNiSW), and more recently, grants from the National Science Center (NCN)—MAESTRO, OPUS, OPUS. Since 2013, he has served on the Central Commission for Academic Degrees and Titles (two terms), and since 2019 on the newly established Council of Scientific Excellence. His scientific achievements focused on asymptotic methods for continuous and discrete systems, computer implementations using symbolic calculus, and the nonlinear dynamics of discrete continuous and discrete systems with friction and impacts, taking into account thermoelasticity and tribology as well as biomechanics engineering. For his scientific achievements, he was honored with the prestigious Alexander von Humboldt Foundation Award. In 2006, he was the laureate of the first edition of the Golden Lamp Award awarded by the PGNiG Foundation, and he received the award of the Foundation for Polish Science under the "Master" program in 2009.
