Teaching: only courses related to the bioinformatics (lectures, projects and laboratories) are listed out of more than 20 courses taught by the fellow in 3 universities since PhD degree: Artificial neural networks (also at PhD studies), Introduction to bioinformatics, Internet on- line course for MSc in bioinformatics: Algorithms in bioinformatics (http://lib.bioinfo.pl/programs/courseset/45), Evolutionary systems in informatics, Evolutionary programming, Biologically-inspired methods of AI. Chairing during last three years more than 10 chaired sessions during international conferences since 2007 regular co-chairing of the Scientific Seminars of the Institute of Informatics at SUT since 2006 Short description of chosen three major accomplishments mentioning the purpose, results, skills acquired, and derived applications. (1) The original method for optimisation of computer generated holograms (CGH). Purpose: development of the fast, opto-electronic method for image recognition with the use of computer generated hologram playing the role of optical feature extractor and ANN used as a classifier. Results: masks of CGHs optimised with the use of hybrid evolutionary - rough sets based method. Skills acquired: digital holography, programming, rough sets, evolutionary algorithms, neural networks, pattern recognition. Derived applications: system for subsurface stress detection in composite materials, system for microscopic suspension images recognition, fiberscope based system for engine wear inspection, airplane engine monitoring system, system for recognition of the type of road vehicles, and system recognition of the road obstacles in a fog. (2) The generalization of indiscernibility relation in the theory of rough sets. Purpose: overcoming the drawbacks of classical rough set theory for applications defined in continuous multidimensional spaces. Results: generalised indiscernibility relation based on cluster analysis and structuring set of conditional attributes. This is generalisation of both, classical rough sets, and rough sets with variable precision, especially useful for large data sets. Skills acquired: rough sets extensions, cluster analysis, information systems, granular knowledge processing. Derived applications: enhanced system for subsurface stress detection in composite materials, system for classification of Fraunhofer diffraction patterns, studies concerning further modifications of classical theory of rough sets and its derivations leading to the concept of quasi-dominant rough sets (QDRSA) (3) The software for estimating coalescence distributions in Galton-Watson branching processes. Purpose: verification of the robustness of mitochondrial Eve (mtEve) dating. Results: simulations using the software confirmed relatively fast convergence to limiting OConnells theorems for slightly supercritical branching processes and robustness of mtEve dating in the Wright-Fisher model (results are published in a paper accepted to Theor. Pop. Biol., IF 2.2). Skills acquired: computer simulations, coalescent method, Markov branching processes, random number generators, human evolution, Wright-Fisher model, OConnell theory. Derived applications: preliminary assessment of interactions of the Upper Palaeolithic anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals. B3.3 Independent thinking and leadership qualities Activities reflecting fellows initiative, independent thinking, project management skill, and leadership, include: (1) Establishing the software company Polstage Ltd (2000). Krzysztof Cyran together with Jerzy Siedlaczek from Rybnik, Poland and Andrew Kocher from Vienna, Austria has initiated the enterprise Polstage Ltd. supporting dynamic career building for outstanding computer science graduate students and alumni from Silesian University of Technology, where he was at that time a research and teacher assistant. (2) Managing Polstage Ltd (2000-2003). After successful start of the company, Krzysztof Cyran became the Managing Director and Director for Development of Polstage, being at the same time full-time University Assistant Professor. He managed large software projects mainly for German (Hagen & Partners GmbH) and Austrian (Webcraft and Integriertes Ressources-Management AG) companies which ultimately led to long-term cooperation between these companies and Polstage (having at that time about 20 programmers) Two of former Polstage employees, hired and managed by the fellow, in 2004 set up LGBS Poland, a Polish branch of Austrian-Polish company (currently Krzysztof Cyran is the Head of Research Department in LGBS Ltd.). Both these companies would never come to existence without leadership skills and independent thinking of the fellow, who successfully supported cooperation in IT technology on European market, seeing in such cooperation a great potential for future European industrial sector. (3) vice Head of the Institute of Informatics at SUT (2006 present). In 2006 Krzysztof Cyran became the vice Head of the Institute of Informatics at SUT. He is the person responsible for adaptation of programs of computer science studies carried out at SUT to Bologna process launched to create the European higher education area (EHEA) by making academic degree standards and quality assurance standards more comparable and compatible throughout Europe, in particular under the Lisbon Recognition Convention. In 2010, during the Accreditation procedures, the Polish National Accreditation Commission (NAC) considered the authors original programs of computers science studies in SUT, that the fellow is directly responsible for, as excellent (grade 5 in a 1-5 scale) The fellows experience is also implemented in strategies of the scientific development of the Institute of Informatics (the scientific potential of the Institute was also considered by NAC as excellent), which is supported by Krzysztof Cyran as the vice Head, and the researcher who actively takes part in various funded projects (as a coordinator or an investigator). (4) Organiser and Director of the post-graduate studies Teleinformatics in Aviation (2008 present). In 2008 he participated in the initiative of Polish Ministry of Transport, Upper-Silesian Aviation Association and SUT for creation of the Civil Aviation Personnel Education Centre of Central and Eastern Europe (CAPECCEE) in Gliwice, Poland. As a vice Head of Institute of Informatics he involved the Institute in the process by preparation and launching first edition of post- graduate studies Teleinformatics in Aviation. He became also the Director of these studies responsible for both program and implementation of student activities organised partially at International Airport in Katowice, where students have opportunity of entering pilot cabins and learn real teleinformatics devices onboard. His initiative led also to the set up of the funded by EU and exceptional in Poland Virtual Flying Laboratory equipped with professional cockpit-simulators integrated in a common virtual sky. (5) Coordinator of all post-graduate studies carried out in CAPECCEE (June 2009 present). As a result of appreciation of fellows contribution, the Head of CAPECEE, Prof. Fellner and President of the Scientific and Programme Council of this organisation, former State Secretary in the Polish Ministry of Transport, Dr. Wrobel have nominated the fellow to became the Coordinator of all post-graduate studies organised by the Centre. These include studies implemented in cooperation with Faculty of Architecture, Faculty of Transport, and Faculty of Automatic Control, Electronics and Computer Science. (6) Head of the Research Department in LGBS Ltd (2010 present) After helping in the development of the LGBS as a Development Consultant, when this software SME has grown to more than 100 programmers, Krzysztof Cyran has organized the Research Department within this company and became the Head of this department. By a close cooperation with SUT, the department is expected to commercialise innovations in computer science with plans for extending the scope to bioinformatics research, driven by the ArSInformatiCa project results and further cooperation with SUT and Institute of Oncology in Gliwice.
