Andrzej Kamisiński

My primary research interests span dependability, programmability, and security of computer and communication networks. I am particularly interested in solving real-world problems using advanced mathematical models and tools, such as optimization theory.

I completed my Ph.D. in telecommunications in October 2017 at the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków under the guidance of Professor Andrzej Jajszczyk. My thesis is entitled "Methods for Dependability Provisioning in Flow-Oriented Telecommunication Networks" and it was distinguished by the Board of the Faculty of Computer Science, Electronics and Telecommunications. I also received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. (with honors) degrees in telecommunications from the same University in 2012 and 2013, respectively. In October 2015, I joined an international research team for four months as a visiting Ph.D. student in the Department of Information Security and Communication Technology (formerly Department of Telematics), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU, Trondheim), where I worked on dependability of Software-Defined Networks under the guidance of Professor Bjarne E. Helvik and in cooperation with Telenor Research. In the period from June 25 to August 25, 2018, I was a visiting research fellow in the Communication Technologies group, Faculty of Computer Science, University of Vienna, where I worked with Professor Stefan Schmid on dependability and security of communication networks. Since April 2018, as a member of the Management Committee of the "Resilient Communication Services Protecting End-user Applications from Disaster-based Failures" European research initiative (European Cooperation in Science and Technology, COST RECODIS, CA15127 Action), I am involved in international research on dependability and security of computer and communication networks in the context of simultaneous failures of multiple network elements.

In 2009, I graduated from the Władysław Żeleński State Secondary School of Music in Kraków, Poland, where I learned to play organ under the guidance of Professor Andrzej Białko. From 1999 to 2003, I participated in multiple research-oriented activities organized by the Polish Children's Fund. As a member of the Boys' Choir of the Karol Szymanowski Philharmonic in Kraków between 1996 and 2003, I took part in several concerts organized in different countries in Europe. I have a passion for aviation, especially sailplanes and air traffic control. I am a licensed sailplane pilot and a member of the Leopold Kwiatkowski Aero Club in Łososina Dolna, Poland.
