The President of Poland, by his decision of January 4, 2021, awarded prof. dr hab. Joanna Janczewska from our Faculty the academic title of professor.

A graduate of the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Gdańsk (1999), currently director of the Institute of Applied Mathematics and head of the Subsection of Dynamical Systems at the Faculty of Applied Physics and Mathematics of the Gdańsk University of Technology. She obtained a doctoral degree at the University of Gdańsk in 2002, a habilitation at the Jagiellonian University in 2012. The procedure of awarding the title of professor was carried out by the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science of the University of Wrocław. In 2008-2010 she was on a two-year research internship at the Institute of Mathematics of the Polish Academy of Sciences in Warsaw.

Her research interests focus on variational and topological methods in nonlinear analysis. On 24th of May 2013 she received the prize in the national competition for the best paper concerning mathematics and its applications, organized by the Centre of Applied Mathematics.

In 2015, according to Web of Science, her article Homoclinic solutions for a class of the second order Hamiltonian systems published with M. Izydorek, took the second place at the list of Top Papers for Poland in Mathematics and it has been cited over 240 till now.

She was a co-researcher in many research projects. Now she is the main researcher of the “Morse Theoretical Methods in Hamiltonian Dynamics” (2018–2022) grant in the Polish-German Research Programme Beethoven. Since 2017 she has been the main coordinator for PhD Studies in the project of the National Centre for Research and Development „Integrated Development Program of Gdańsk University of Technology”. She has been the supervisor of two PhD theses and is currently supervising another one.
