Professor Władysław Torbicz
Member of the FNP Council
 Born
7 April 1935, he is a graduate of the Warsaw University
of Technology Faculty of Engineering. He received his doctoral
degree in 1965 from the PAS Institute of Fundamental Technological
Research, qualified as assistant professor in 1989, and
received his professorial rank in 1991.
He is an associate of the PAS Institute of Biocybernetics
and Biomedical Engineering in Warsaw, since 1993 as deputy
director in charge of research projects.
For many years he has been a member of the Technology in
Medicine section of the State Committee for Scientific
Research which he chaired from 2001 to 2004. Since 2004
he has been a member of the Electronic, Automatics, Robotics,
IT and Telecommunications Group of the Committee. From
2000 onwards, he has reviewed projects developed under
the 5th EU Framework Programme, now being a reviewer for
the 6th Framework Programme.
Professor Torbicz is a founding member of the Polish Association
of Sensor Technology, a member of the PAS Committee of
Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering, the PAS Committee
of Medical Physics, Radiobiology and Imaging Diagnostics,
and a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers, Inc. He is also a member of the scientific boards
of the PAS Institute of Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering,
the Electron Technology Institute, and the Army Institute
of Aviation Medicine.
Initially, Professor Torbicz's interests focused on magnetic
and semiconductor measurement and processing devices used
in metrology and automatic control engineering. Currently,
his research projects concern the technology, modelling
and application of semiconductor sensors and chemical biosensors
in medical diagnostics and environmental protection. Within
the scope of his interests, Professor Torbicz co-operates
with research teams from France, Holland, Ukraine and Taiwan.
His major achievements, both individual and collaborative,
include the development of a dynamic theory of non-linear
magnetic amplifiers and their application to voltage control
in high-output generators in Polish power plants; the first-ever
monograph on magnetic bubble domains using digital technology;
the launching of mass production of semiconductor code
memories for Pentaconta telephone exchanges; and the initiation
and development in Poland of research and studies concerning
semiconductor chemical sensors and biosensors using ion-sensitive
transistors.
Professor Torbicz is the author or co-author of over 230
publications including 7 monographs, and has taken out
11 patents. Also, he is co-editor of two multi-volume monographs.
He contributes his reviews to a number of branch periodicals,
many of them international, including "IEEE Transactions
on Biomedical Engineering"; "Sensors and Actuators"; "B
Chemical Analyst"; "Laboratory-on-a-Chip"; "Journal of
Materials Chemistry" and "Sensors" (where he is a member
of the editorial board). He has promoted four Ph.D. recipients.
