Julian Ławrynowicz — BIOGRAPHY

Julian Ławrynowicz

 Julian Ławrynowicz – had obtained a MSc in Physics and MSc in Mathematics at the University of Łódź. He also completed there his PhD Thesis on quasiconformal mappings. As a post-doc he worked at the Imperial College in London and at the University of Cambridge. Still at the University of Łódź he completed in 1968 his Habilitation on quasiconformal mappings with invariant boundary points. After that he was a Visiting Professor in Helsinki, Pisa (Scuola Normale Superiore), Rome (La Sapienza), Göttingen, Mexico City (CInvEstAv), and Tokyo. His current research interests include conformal and biholomorphic invariants, hypercomplex potential theory, physics of condensed matter, Clifford analysis, and fractal analysis including applications to thermodynamics of metallic alloys. In 1972-2002 he served as the Head of Department of Complex Analysis and Differential Geometry in the Mathematical Institute of the Polish Academy of Sciences. He became a Full Professor there in 1976 and in 1983 also a Full Professor in the Institute of Physics of the University of Łódź. In 1983-97 he was the Secretary General of the Łódź Society of Sciences and Arts; since 1995 he is elected ordinary member of the Société Scientifique de Bruxelles.
