Recently, Professor Jacek Mańdziuk—an internationally renowned expert in artificial intelligence and computational intelligence, Member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, and faculty member of the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science at Warsaw University of Technology—visited China University of Petroleum for a short-term academic stay. Wang Yudou, Acting Vice Dean of the College of Science, presented him with the certificate of Honorary Professor.
Wang Yudou extended a warm welcome to Academician Jacek Mańdziuk and thanked him for his contributions to the university’s international academic cooperation and exchanges. He expressed hope that the two sides would jointly explore new ideas and expand new pathways in future academic research and scientific collaboration. Academician Jacek Mańdziuk spoke highly of the university’s historical development, campus environment and disciplinary construction, fully recognized its influence in the field of artificial intelligence, and stated his strong confidence in further deepening cooperation in the future.
During his visit, Jacek Mańdziuk delivered an academic lecture titled Advantages and Limitations of Artificial Intelligence in Abstract Visual Reasoning to faculty and students.
Prof. Jacek Mańdziuk, Ph.D., D.Sc., is a full professor at the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science, Warsaw University of Technology, and Head of Division of Artificial Intelligence and Computational Methods. He is also a full research professor of the AGH University of Krakow.He is an IEEE Senior Member and was General Co-Chair of the 2021 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation, Krakow, Poland, and Chair of the annual IEEE SSCI Symposium on Computational Intelligence for Human-like Intelligence 2013- 2023. He is a recipient of the Fulbright Senior Research Award (UC Berkeley and ICSI Berkeley, USA) and the Robert Schuman Foundation Fellowship (CNRS, Besancon, France).
