Prof. Jakubik Wiesław | Humidity Monitoring Award | Best Researcher Award 

Prof. Jakubik Wiesław., Silesian University of Technology, Poland

Dr. Wiesław Jakubik, born in 1964 in Cieszyn, Poland, is a distinguished researcher and academic in the field of applied physics with over thirty years of experience. He completed his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in applied physics (acoustoelectronics) from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at the Silesian University of Technology (SUT) in Gliwice, Poland, in 1989 and 1998, respectively. In 2013, he earned his Habilitation (D.Sc.) in Electronics from the Faculty of Automation, Electronics, and Informatics at SUT. Since 1998, Dr. Jakubik has been working at the Institute of Physics at SUT in Gliwice. Dr. Jakubik’s research focuses on bi-layer sensor structures with Surface Acoustic Waves (SAW) for hydrogen sensors and the investigation of sensor properties of novel materials. His work has confirmed the acoustoelectric interactions within bi-layer sensor structures through simultaneous measurement of conductivity changes induced by hydrogen interactions. He has authored over 100 scientific papers, one monograph, and holds three patents. In 2023, he conducted a scientific stay at CNR in Rome, Italy, at the Institute for Photonics and Nanotechnology and the Institute of Microelectronics and Microsystems, where he worked on SAW sensing with rrP3HT polymer films. Additionally, Dr. Jakubik is a co-organizer of the 19th Winter Workshop on Acoustoelectronics, scheduled for 2024.
