About

Grzegorz Suchanek is a researcher at the forefront of environmental robotics, specializing in the use of multirotor flying robots—drones—for air pollution monitoring and source localization. His work directly addresses the urgent need to combat illegal waste incineration and the persistent smog problem, which causes enormous damage to human health. Suchanek’s major contributions include the design and implementation of particulate matter (PM) measurement systems for drones, enabling energy-efficient searching of pollution sources. He has also developed computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models to analyze how airflow from drone propellers affects sensor readings, a critical step for accurate in-field measurements. His most cited paper, “Evaluation of Selected Algorithms for Air Pollution Source Localisation Using Drones” (2022), has garnered 13 citations, reflecting growing interest in this applied domain. Beyond hardware, Suchanek has conducted modeling, simulation, and experimental tests of quadrocopter flying robots, laying the groundwork for autonomous environmental inspection. His work bridges robotics, environmental science, and public health, offering practical tools for cleaner air.
