About me
Hello ! My name is Maciej Ligowski and I’m from Poland. I was born on January 8th, 1980 in Warsaw. In 1998 I’ve finished math profiled High school. Between 1995 and 2005 I’ve been a student of Warsaw University of Technology, Mechatronics division. This faculty is focused on automatic control, electronics, computer science, electrical engineering, mechanics, robotics, optics, biomedical engineering and metrology. My special interests during studies were close to laser scenography, laser measurements, image processing (edge detecting). I enjoyed working with laser beam scanned in the air. During studies I focused on special light effects, especially interaction of light and matter. Therefore in 2005 I’ve defended my Master Thesis – “Laser animation system mapping moving objects” (click here for full summary). In my thesis I made a system detecting edges in video stream and using detected figures to control a laser scanner. I’ve also participated in a research on laser show safety. The law in Poland is insufficient in this domain. In most of my works I focused on creating algorithms and C++ programming. Since 2005 I’m a student of doctoral degree course at Warsaw University of technology. At the beginning I participated in a research on detecting and counting very small solid state and aerosol particles in a gas stream.
This time I’ve also worked as a light designer at Polish government TV. My profession was to support all the technical side of stage lightening, as well as to program the show. I’m familiar with some of Compulate and High End lighting consoles (including Whole Hog III) and I’ve also worked with Catalyst media servers.
In 2006 within the agreement between Warsaw University of Technology and Shizuoka University I’ve become a member of Double Degree special Program. Since April 2006 I’m a student of Shizuoka University. According to this program I’m making a PhD both in Japan and in Poland. The topic of my research in Japan was detecting and measuring by Kelvin Force Probe Microscope (KFM) of single electron path, and single electrons in low temperatures in Metal Oxide Semiconductors Field Effect Transistors (MOSFET). After completing a PhD course in Japan i came back to Warsaw and I’m trying to graduate also at Warsaw university of Technology.
Also I’ve stared to work in Copernicus Science Center in Warsaw.
My hobbies are mostly sailing, photography, and traveling. To see my photos pleas visit the galleries.
