Professor Ryszard Tadeusiewicz
AGH University of Science and Technology, Poland

Professor Ryszard Tadeusiewicz was awarded Ph.D. degree in 1975 and in 1981 the degree of Doctor of Sciences (Doctor Habilitatus). In 1986 he became Associate Professor and in 1991 Full Professor at the AGH University of Science and Technology. He has written over 600 scientific papers, published in prestigious Polish and foreign scientific journals, as well as numerous conference presentations - both national and international. Prof. Tadeusiewicz has also written over 80 scientific monographs and books, among them several highly popular textbooks, which were adopted by dozens of Polish universities and had many editions.

His bibliometric parameters are: according to Web of Science Citations number (without self-citations) = 517, h-index = 16, and according to Google Scholar Citations number (without self-citations) = 5979, h-index = 29.

Prof. Tadeusiewicz supervised the total of 69 doctoral students as the primary advisor at the AGH University of Science and Technology, Academy of Economics, and Collegium Medicum. He wrote reviews of 312 doctoral theses as an external reviewer, and reviews 158 doctor hablilitatus candidates.
In January 1998, by a secret ballot of the members of the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences (PAU), Professor Tadeusiewicz was elected its Corresponding Member. At PAU he co-organized the Committee of Geoinformatics established in 1998, Committee of Technical Sciences in 1999 and Committee of Ergonomics in 2012. Currently he serves also on the PAU's Committee on Civilization Threats.

In March 2002, by a secret ballot of the members of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN), Professor Tadeusiewicz was elected its Corresponding Member of this Academy and in May 2012 he was elected Full Member of PAN. He was three times elected President of Krakow branch of PAN.

In 1996, in a secret ballot he was elected Deputy Rector for Science at the AGH University of Science and Technology, and in January 1998 Rector of the AGH University of Science and Technology. He was re-elected again as Rector in 1999 and once more in May 2002 for the period 2002-2005. This makes him the longest-serving Rector of the University.
