Professor Janusz Mroczka, a corresponding member of the Polish Academy of Sciences, was born on April 27, 1952 in Dębica. He completed his Master’s programme in 1976 at the Wrocław University of Science and Technology, with which he has been professionally bound to date. In 1980, he defended his doctoral dissertation and in 1991, he received postdoctoral qualifications. In 1996, he was awarded the title of Professor. In 2021, his Alma Mater has given him the status of professor magnus.

Professor Mroczka’s research interests revolve around the methodology of the cognitive process, algorithmisation of inverse problems, numerically ill-conditioned indirect measurements, spectrum and polarisation analyses of scattered radiation in dispersive systems, data fusion, metrical data processing, and development of the method of moments in dispersive system analysis.

Professor Mroczka authored 446 publications (144 on the Philadelphia list), co-authored 13 books (5 foreign, 8 Polish), and 8 patents (4 implementations). He has fulfilled (as head or chief executor) 31 grants (7 international).
