Short Biography
| Janusz A. Starzyk received M.S. degree in
applied mathematics and Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering both from
Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland, and habilitation degree
in electrical engineering from Silesian University of Technology in
Gliwice, Poland. He worked as an Assistant Professor at the Institute of
Electronics Fundamentals, Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland.
Subsequently, he spent two years as a Post-Doctorate Fellow and research
engineer at McMaster University, Hamilton, Canada. Since 1991he has been a
