Janusz Smulko (born April 25, 1964 in Kolno, Poland)[1] is a Polish electronics engineer, full professor of Gdańsk University of Technology.[2] Research Interests: reliability assessment of electronic devices (electrochromic materials, supercapacitors, varistors, thin metal foil capacitors), fluctuation-enhanced sensing (various systems and sensors), gas sensing, Raman spectroscopy, noise in biological systems, signal processing.[3] Since September 2016 – Vice-Rector for Scientific Research, Gdańsk University of Technology, Poland.[4]
Janusz Smulko graduated in 1989 with honors from the Faculty of Electronics at Gdańsk University of Technology, specialising in measuring instruments.[1] In 1989 he took second place in the Red Rose competition for the best student in the Pomerania Region, Poland.[1]
Since the beginning of his career he has been associated with Gdańsk University of Technology: research assistant (1989-1996), Assistant Professor (1996-2012), Associate Professor (2012-2014), Full Professor (since 2014), Head of Department of Metrology and Electronics (since 2015), Vice-Rector for Scientific Research (since 2016) at GUT.[1] He did scientific internships in Texas A&M University (2003, NATO Advanced Fellowship), Uppsala University (2006, 2008, STINT Foundation Fellowship), Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2011, 2013 Inter Ph.D. scholarships).[1]
His research concerns random signals used as a source of information for the detection of gases, types of corrosion and to assess the quality of materials and electronic components.[1] He has published over 150 scientific papers, including 85[5] in the journals from the JCR database (2 as a review paper).[1] The author of 2 monographs, and co-author of two academic textbooks. He has delivered 12 invited lectures at conferences.[1] His work has been cited more than 500 times (without self citations), and the Hirsch index is 18.
Since September 2016 – Vice-Rector for Scientific Research, Gdańsk University of Technology (GUT), Poland.[4] Since 2013 he has been the head of the Department of Metrology and Optoelectronics. Promoter of 4 completed doctorates (all with honors) and tutor of 4 doctoral students.[1] Editor-in-chief of the ‘Science Bulletin’ of the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics at GUT (2012-2013).[1] Editor-in-chief of "Metrology and Measurement Systems" (since 2016, the IF for 2015 is 1,140).[1] Member of the Committee of Metrology and Scientific Instrumentation of the Polish Academy of Sciences (since 2011).[6] Chairman of the IEEE Computer Society Chapter Gdańsk.[7] He reviewed 7 doctoral theses and 3 habilitation procedures.[1]
Janusz Smulko managed 6 research projects with a total amount of financing of over 3 million PLN.[1] Awarded with 16 GUT Rector prizes.[1] He was awarded the Silver Cross of Merit (2003) and the Medal of the National Education Commission (2009).[1]
Actively cooperates with all the universities where he held his research internships and with Brno University of Technology, Universitat Rovira i Virgili University of Pamplona.[1]
His most important non-scientific interest is history. He spends his free time mountain trekking, cycling and playing floorball.[1]
