On Monday, May 19, a farewell ceremony will be held for Ms. Małgorzata Dynak, who tragically passed away on May 7 on the Main Campus of the University of Warsaw. The funeral Mass will begin at 10:00 a.m. at the Church of Divine Providence, located at Dickensa 5. Further ceremonies at the cemetery will be private and limited to the family. By the decision of the Rector, there will be no classes or work duties at the University of Warsaw on Monday

The Faculty building will remain open on that day to students, doctoral candidates, and staff.

We cordially invite you to a distinguished Maria Skłodowska-Curie lecture by Ian Walmsley from Imperial College London:

Lighting the Quantum Future: Photonics in Quantum Information Technology

This Thursday at 12:30 pm, Room 2180.

Our Faculty hosts Dr. Lei Chen from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, this year's winner of the Kamil Duszenko Prize.

She will deliver a special lecture this Thursday at 12:15 in room 4420: The rectangle peg problem, which, according to the rules of the prize, is addressed to high school students at an "olimpic level". It will certainly be interesting and accessible for our students.

Feel warmly invited!

Psychological help for our University employees and students can be found at the Psychological Support Center. 

The university emergency phone line has been launched: +48 22 55 22 112.

XiAI Cancer: Explainable Artificial Intelligence for Cancer Imaging
National Science Centre Sonata Bis grant no 2023/50/E/ST6/00694

Role Description
This is a full-time hybrid role for a Co-Investigator (wykonawca) in AI/ML for computer vision, with a focus on medical images, at University of Warsaw. The XAICancer project, led by the principal investigator, Neo Christopher Chung (https://cbml.science), aims to create high performance deep learning models for cancer diagnosis and prognosis. In the process, we will develop novel algorithms (Vision Transformers, Self-supervised Learning, XAI, etc.) and train neural networks for cancer images (CT and PET/CT scans). The role involves developing cutting-edge ML methods for medical imaging data, collaborating with interdisciplinary and international teams, and disseminating research products through publications, conferences, and open source software packages.

Application deadline: April 30, 2025.

Application process: send your CV and cover letter (motivation) to PI at n.chung@uw.edu.pl.

We cordially invite you to a series of lectures in PDEs and geometry given by Faculty members, alumni and invited speakers on April 14-15th.

Feel free to browse the schedule—you might find something of interest!

Feel warmly invited to come and talk to our students about studing at MIMUW (and how to get there) during the UW Open Day this Saturday.

See at the Main Campus!

Feel warmly invited in the Marie Skłodowska-Curie lecture, which will take place on Thursday, 10th of April, at 12:30 in 4420.

We host Renato Renner form ETH Zurich who will talk about Cryptographic Insights into Quantum Foundations.

The next PhD Open will take place on April 11-12. Xixi Lu (Utrecht University) will give a course entitled "Introduction to process mining".

Open lectures for PhD students in computer science is a project which aims at broadening the choice of courses by invited courses given by top researchers from all over the world.

We encourage mathematically gifted high school students from all over the world to apply to the Math Beyond Limits camp! 

It will take place on September 07-20 in Rycerka Dolna, Poland.

Applications are open until May 4th!
