Research topics
Dating of geological sediments and ceramics using luminescence methods, particularly
optically stimulated luminescence (OSL); post-accident dosimetry; application of adaptive
algorithms (genetic, differential evolution, and others) in optimization problems.
Dating using OSL is performed for inorganic materials, particularly quartz and feldspar. The
subject matter includes improving existing measurement methods as well as developing new ones.
There are many scientific problems that require solutions to increase the reliability of dating
results. This method is also suitable for post-accident dosimetry purposes using everyday
ceramic objects. The development of such methods is crucial in the event of radiological
accidents where significant environmental contamination has occurred.
Adaptive algorithms in optimization problems are extremely effective in finding the global
extremes of a given function. These algorithms are being applied in an increasing number of
scientific and engineering issues.
