Politechnika Warszawska Students Represent Poland at Enactus World Cup with MedWave Project

The Enactus PW team, winners of the Enactus Poland National Competition, represented Poland at the Enactus World Cup in Bangkok in September. The team included three students from the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science — Jakub Muszyński, Sebastian Rydz, and Magdalena Leymańczyk. Their project, MedWave, uses AI to assist doctors by creating real-time transcriptions of patient consultations, automatically generating medical documentation and reducing time spent on administrative tasks.

🌟Lecture by Professor Noga Alon (Princeton University)

at the Faculty of MiNI PW

On Monday, 29 September, at 12:15 p.m. in Room 101 of the Mathematics Building, the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science had the honour of hosting Professor Noga Alon of Princeton University for a special lecture entitled
“Vantage Points and Sign Patterns.”

Professor Alon is one of the world’s leading mathematicians, renowned for his contributions to combinatorics, graph theory, and their applications in theoretical computer science. He has received numerous major awards, including the Gödel Prize (2005), Knuth Prize (2022), and Shaw Prize (2022). Author of over 600 scientific papers, he is also co-author (with Joel Spencer) of the influential monograph The Probabilistic Method, honoured with the Steele Prize for Mathematical Exposition.

In his talk, Professor Alon discussed recent joint work with Defant, Kravitz, and Zhu on ordering points in the plane—or higher-dimensional spaces—by the sum of their Euclidean distances from chosen vantage points. The study extends classical results of Milnor and Warren on sign patterns of real polynomials to more general functions, with implications for discrete mathematics and theoretical computer science.

The Faculty warmly thanks Professor Alon and all participants for an inspiring event.

🌿 Faculty’s Growing Impact at the Intersection of Mathematics, Informatics, and Life Sciences

Researchers from the Faculty of Mathematics and Information Science, Warsaw University of Technology — Prof. Dariusz Plewczyński and Krzysztof Banecki — have recently co-authored a paper published in Nature Methods (5-year Impact Factor: 45.6), one of the world’s most prestigious journals in computational biology and bioinformatics.

The article, available at https://doi.org/10.1038/s41592-025-02658-7, presents the results of an international research collaboration led by the Laboratory of Bioinformatics and Computational Genomics at MiNI PW, conducted in partnership with:

• Life Sciences Institute, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou, China

• Institute of Reproduction and Development, Fudan University, Shanghai, China

• Department of Genome Sciences, University of Washington, Seattle, USA

This achievement highlights the Faculty’s expanding contribution to global research at the interface of mathematics, data science, and modern biology, demonstrating how mathematical and computational methods are reshaping our understanding of life processes.
