(in Polish) Sympozjum IFD 1100-SIFD

Lecture Series:

11:10 – 11:30 Intricacies of IFD History, Prof. Andrzej Kajetan Wróblewski

11:30 – 12:15 Solid State Physics, Prof. Andrzej Wysmołek, Dr. Hab. Johannes Binder, Dr. Hab. Barbara Piętka, Prof. UW, Dr. Hab. Mateusz Goryca.
The lectures will present the latest advances in the physics of semiconductor nanostructures and, more broadly, condensed matter.

Methods for fabrication, structuring, and structural, optical, and electrical characterization of nanostructures and modern semiconductor materials will be discussed.

12:15 – 12:45 Nuclear Physics, Dr. Hab. Agnieszka Korgul, Prof. UW, Prof. Dr. Hab. Marek Pfutzner
Experimental methods for producing nuclides far from stability.
Study of rare radioactive decays, including two-proton emission.

12:45 - 1:15 PM Particle Physics and Fundamental Interactions, Dr. DSc. Artur Kalinowski, prof. UW, Małgorzata Niemiec, M.A.
The lecture will focus on the structure of matter at its most elementary level, the problem of neutrino mixing, the identity of the particle discovered at the LHC, CERN in 2012, and studies of proton spin.

1:15 - 2:00 PM Lunch

2:00 - 2:30 PM Biomedical Physics, Dr. DSc. Piotr Suffczyński, prof. UW, Dr. DSc. Beata Brzozowska, prof. UW
The lecture will cover the following topics:
EEG signal analysis and modeling, in particular, automatic diagnosis of neurological diseases based on electroencephalographic signals;
diagnosis and prognosis of disorders of consciousness and investigation of the causes of epileptic seizures;
studying the mechanisms of DNA damage and repair in biological material exposed to ionizing radiation;
use of nanotechnology in precise radiation dose measurement and innovative radiotherapy methods in cancer treatment.

2:30 PM - 3:00 PM Biophysics, Dr. hab. Beata Wielgus-Kutrowska, prof. UW, Dr. Marcin Warmiński
The lecture will introduce us to the fascinating field of designing and researching chemically modified messenger RNA (mRNA) molecules, which play a key role in the translation process of building functional proteins. By combining molecular biology, organic chemistry and physics, the lecture will demonstrate how life functions on a nanoscale and how this knowledge can be applied to develop next-generation therapies. Chemically modified mRNA will serve as an example of how biophysics becomes a bridge between understanding and innovation - from the fundamental principles that govern living organisms to their groundbreaking applications in medicine.

3:00 PM – 3:30 PM Structure of Condensed Matter, Prof. Radosław Przeniosło, PhD, DSc, Dariusz Wardecki, PhD
In-situ X-ray diffraction in chemical reaction studies will be discussed, based on the latest research.

3:30 PM – 4:00 PM Optics, Dr. DSc, Piotr Fita, Prof. UW, Dr. Michał Karpiński
A general presentation will be provided on current research in the fields of optical quantum and biophotonic technologies, laser molecular spectroscopy, superresolution microscopy, and ultracold atomic gases. Work on methods for controlling single photons, which are the fundamental carriers of quantum information, will be discussed in detail. The achievements concerning the time-spectral interface enabling efficient conversion between picosecond and nanosecond light pulses, the method of electro-optical frequency shifting of photons generated by quantum dots, and the results concerning quantum key distribution (QKD) with multi-bit per photon encoding will be discussed.

Assessment based on a multiple-choice test administered during lectures. Enrollment in the course is by completing the test.
