Marek Pawelczyk
Title of the lecture: Advances in active noise control
Marek Pawelczyk obtained his M.Sc. in 1995, Ph.D. in 1999, and D.Sc. (habilitation)
in 2005 from the Silesian University of Technology, Poland. He is currently a Professor
at this University. He also gained professional experience at a number of universities
in Germany, UK, and Denmark. He is an author of two books on active control, about
a hundred journal and proceeding papers, ten user's manuals, and co-author of
three academic textbooks. He has served over three hundred times as a reviewer for
several international journals, book publishers, and international conferences.
He also closely cooperates with international industrial companies. He is a co-author
of several projects including ultrasonic monitoring of petroleum fractions, and
supervisory systems localizations, which are commercially available. For his research
he has received many prizes from domestic and international organizations, including:
Medal for the Best Silesian University of Technology graduate; Foundation for Polish
Science Award for Young Scientists; British Council Fellowship; FIAT Award for the
Best Ph.D. Thesis; Individual and Group Awards of the Ministry of National Education
for Scientific Achievements; Award of the Technical Sciences Department of the Polish
Academy of Sciences for the Best D.Sc. Thesis in Computer Science; SIEMENS Scientific
Award; and six Awards of the Rector of the Silesian University of Technology. He
was eighteen times a member of Scientific Committees, and six times a member of
Organizing Committees of international conferences and congresses. He was the Chair
of the 16th International Congress on Sound and Vibration held in Krakow, Poland,
5-9 July 2009. He has been appointed as "Honorary Ambassador of Congresses
for Poland". He is currently a member of the following societies: International
Institute of Acoustics and Vibration; European Acoustics Association; Polish Acoustical
Society; International Society for Advanced Research (honorary member); International
Federation of Automatic Control (TC 1.2 and TC 7.5 committees); Polish Society for
Measurement, Automatic Control and Robotics; Committee on Acoustics of the Polish
Academy of Sciences, Committee on Automatic Control and Robotics of the Polish Academy
of Sciences, British Alumni Society. He currently holds the following positions:
Deputy Director of the Institute of Automatic Control at the Silesian University
of Technology, Head of the Measurements and Control Systems Division at that University,
Managing Editor of ISI recognized International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration,
member of Editorial Boards of five different international scientific journals.
He was the President-Elect of the IIAV since 2010. He is now the President of the
International Instiute of Acoustics and Vibration, for the term 2012-2014.

Yuri Vershinin
Title of the lecture: Design of Automotive Passive and Active Suspension
Systems
Director of Intelligent Transport
Systems and Telematics (ITS&T)
Applied Research Group,
Coventry University, UK
(vershy@coventry.ac.uk),
Yuri Vershinin joined Coventry
University, as Senior Lecturer in late 2000 after postdoctoral research at Aston
University, following on from his industrial career. His industrial work
experience included digital and analog systems design, design and implementation
of electronic systems for automation and control, and microprocessor control
systems. His recent research has been carried out in the area of adaptive
control systems, identification, decentralized control, Kalman filtering and
optimal control. He has worked in machine vision, image processing and
computer graphics. At Coventry University he has formed the Intelligent
Transport Systems and Telematics (ITS&T) Applied Research Group in order
to work on practical tasks related to advanced automotive systems,
Controller Area Network (CAN-bus), vehicle diagnostics and safety, vehicle
position and sensors monitoring based on GPS, wireless data-transmission,
modelling and simulation of road traffic networks for optimization of the
traffic flow, traffic accidents simulation, reduction of fuel consumption and
exhaust emissions. He has organized the Special Edition “Advanced Control
Systems in Automotive Applications” of the International Journal “Modelling,
Identification and Control” (IJMIC). He was the Co-Chair of ICEEE and the
Invited Speaker on ICME of the World Congress on Engineering (WCE-2012),
Imperial College, London, UK. Also, he has provided the Keynote Speech on the
International Multi-Conference of Engineers and Computer Scientists
(IMECS-2013), International Conference on Electrical Engineering (ICEE) in Hong
Kong, March 2013.
