During the conference, awards were presented to Polish women of the 21st century, who distinguished themselves with their activities last year in six categories: entrepreneurship, local government, education, health, social activity, innovation, and new technologies.
The winner of the innovation and new technologies category was Kamila Hankiewicz, who created Untrite AI Platform. It is a platform based on artificial intelligence.
Nikola Bukowiecka, a student from Szczecin, was awarded in the same category for the development of systems used in the NASA space mission. Bukowiecka belongs to the Solar System Physics and Astrophysics Group of the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
It is a great joy that I received an award for my work on sky mapping systems as part of the GLOWS project carried out at the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences, which is part of the NASA IMAP space mission, and for my work on designing control systems for Polish satellites - said Nikola Bukowiecka.
It is a great honor for me, not only in the category of appreciating hard work, but also being in such an elite group - adds the winner.
Nikola Bukowiecka is a student of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the West Pomeranian University of Technology and a finalist of the 13th edition of the Student Nobel Prize.
Bukowiecka is a physicist at the Space Research Centre of the Polish Academy of Sciences, where she is a member of the Solar System Physics and Astrophysics Group. She participates in the GLOWS project, which is part of the NASA space mission - IMAP / IBEX. She is also an AOCS engineer at Creotech Instruments S.A., where she designs orientation and orbit control systems.
