Wojciech Kierat received his PhD in 2000 and D.Sc. in 2018 from the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice, Poland. He currently works as a professor in the Department of Digital Systems. His previous achievements include measuring rapid changes in tracer gas concentrations in studies determining exposure to pathogens in indoor air and determining the risk of infection from airborne diseases. His current research focuses on the use of advanced digital systems based on artificial intelligence to interpret complex measurement systems, with particular emphasis on odour measurement systems and the detection of unknown substances. FPGAs and SoCs are ideal implementation platforms enabling research toward low-power and high-performance control and measurement systems.
