It is with great sadness that we learned of the death of Professor Karol Derwich.

He was an outstanding scientist, mentor and lecturer, loved and respected by students. But above all, he was a very kind person, who proved to be an integral member of out academic society.

Our heartfelt condolences are extended to Professor’s family, colleagues, and students during this very difficult time.
