Piotr Baranowski is head of the Department of Metrology and Modelling of Agrophysical Processes at the Institute of Agrophysics, Polish Academy of Sciences, where he also leads two working groups: “Climate change modelling“ and “Hyperspectral imaging“. He studied physics at Maria Curie-Skłodowska University (UMCS) in Lublin, earned his PhD from the PAS Institute of Agrophysics in 1999, followed by his DSc (habilitation) at the same institute in 2009. In 2018 he was appointed a professor of agronomy. He has been working on modelling the climate change impact on crop production, GHG emissions measurement and modelling, thermal and hyperspectral image processing for evaluation of plant and food quality and medical diagnostics. He is involved in studies of the effect of biotic stress caused by the species A. brassicae and A. brassicicola on leaf spectral characteristics of oilseed rape. He also develops sophisticated methods for analyzing long-term meteorological time series in order to determine long-term correlations that could be linked to climate change. He has coordinated the Polish involvement in some international projects including MACSUR Knowledge Hub and AGRICORE H2020. He has published more than 60 peer-reviewed journal articles.
