On The International Day of Mathematics, we’d like to share the interview with Professor Marek Michalewicz, the author and the leader of the project which connected supercomputers on four continents in seven countries into one concurrent configuration of the resources of the "Supercomputer Galaxy" (InfiniCortex project). Professor Michalewicz was a Visiting Professor at Sano in 2022 and we had the opportunity to ask him some questions.  

Researchers from the Computer Vision Data Science Team at Sano and the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Warsaw have successfully applied quantum computing techniques to discover structure in brain networks. 

Sano PhD student Monika Pytlarz presented her work at  “SPIE Medical Imaging” conference in San Diego, USA.

Gamification of medical applications seems to be inevitable to keep users involved in the process of self-reporting. It is widely accepted that gamification design should be personalized, and there are several approaches to categorizing users for the sake of providing them with the most encouraging design.

The end of February was marked by SIAM Conference on Computational Science and Engineering (CSE23), an important meeting for computational science researchers. This year conference gathered about 2000 attendees in Amsterdam.

Data Science and Medicine are two different fields of knowledge and practice, the one very young, the other rather old, do they have something in common to be able to cooperate and benefit from each other?   

For Fat Thursday in Sano there were announced donuts (which is traditional in Poland) and a discussion about ChatGPT (which is because we like to discuss something important then we meet). We don’t know which of the items brought more of our colleagues to the office that day, but it was really nice to see so many enthusiastic faces in one place.

Dominika Ciupek’s thesis won the first prize in the category of applied science in prestigious scientific AGH competition “Diamenty AGH”. Dominika presented her thesis on "Mapping the properties of white matter pathways of the ageing brain using the diffusion magnetic resonance imaging" which she developed under supervision of Tomasz Pięciak, Ph.D. and Jaromir Przybyło, Ph.D. In Sano Dominika continues her research under supervision of professor Maciej Malawski in Extreme-scale Data and Computing Team and supervision of Tomasz Pięciak, PhD from Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros de Telecomunicación, Universidad de Valladolid (Spain).

Last week we had honor to host Ewa Deelman, research professor from University of Southern California and we had wonderful opportunity to consult with her our computational medicine projects.

Time to celebrate! Last Friday, January 20th, four Sano Science students: Adam Nowak, Krzysztof Gądek, Piotr Kica, and Karol Zając defended their thesis and received Engineer's degrees! 

Dear Sano Science Friends, Partners, Supporters, and Enthusiasts - have a fabulous New Year ahead!

At Sano Science, we believe in science, knowledge, and education - they make our world a better place. Just before upcoming Christmas, we want to wish you that goodness is always present in our lives and world.

December is a wonderful time to look around and find ways how to help others. In Sano, we decided to join our forces and help the school for blind children in Kraków which – unfortunately - is struggling financially.  

Alfredo Ibias from Jose Sousa research group (Personal Health Data Science) met with professor Suphamit Chittayasothorn from KMITL School of Information Technology.  

From the 28th to the 30th of November Alfredo Ibias form Personal Health Data Science research team  participated in the 14th Asian Conference on Intelligent Information and Database Systems (ACIIDS 2022). He presented a paper entitled “Using deep learning to detect anomalies in traffic flow”. 

Sano Science is a project carried out by a consortium consisting of European partners. On Friday 25th November, we had the pleasure to host the representatives of our Advanced Partners in our Kraków office.  

Yesterday during the Open Eyes Economy Prologue, Dr. Anna Maria Trawinska had the opportunity to talk about Sano Science and the role of computational medicine in the development of future medicine.

21-24th November took place the next Life Science Open Space edition. Marian Bubak hosted the health-tech session.  

13-18th November 2022 in Dallas, USA had place the International Conference for High-Performance Computing, Networking, Storage, and Analysis. This is one of the most important events in supercomputing field and Sano Science was there! 

Virtual Reality Simulator for Fetoscopic Spina Bifida for Repair Surgery - this was the title of Przemysław Korzeniowski presentation at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), one of the largest and most impacting robotics research conferences.
