Research activity

Research

Cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, the Internet of Things and digital transformation: the topics of my research, publications and conference talks.

Research areas

Four main topics

I connect research with practice: results are tested in CompExpert projects, public administration and schools, and lessons from implementations feed back into publications and teaching.

Cybersecurity

Methods of information security audits in public administration and business, compliance with ISO/IEC 27001, GDPR, NIS2 and the Polish National Interoperability Framework, penetration testing for SMEs on limited budgets.

Artificial intelligence & data

AI and data analytics in business and logistics, Business Intelligence, decision support systems, large-scale data processing and meta-heuristic methods.

IoT, Green IoT & cloud

The Internet of Things in public administration, education and rural areas, green IT and Green IoT, cloud computing in small and medium-sized companies.

Digital transformation & EdTech

Digitalisation of SMEs and e-government, the impact of digital transformation on innovation, e-learning and new methods of teaching computer science.
