Strategies for analysis of single cell genomics data
Witalis Domitrz obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Computer Science in 2020 at the University of Warsaw and a Master of Science in Mathematics and Foundations of Computer Science in 2021 at the University of Oxford.
During his studies, Witalis explored various areas including Machine Learning and Quantum Computing. Some of his projects include improving methods for quantum circuits optimization and training deep reinforcement learning agents in the Google Football environment. He also interned in various companies in which he got experience in both research and software engineering roles.
His notable achievements are receiving the best poster award for his poster at the Eastern European Machine Learning Summer School and receiving the Rector’s Scholarship for the best students every year during his studies in Warsaw.
The major task of Witalis at the Computational Genomics Group is to develop and implement novel machine learning algorithms for analysis and visualization of high-dimensional single-cell multiomics data.
She studies aerospace engineering at the Faculty of Civil and Transport Engineering of the Poznań University of Technology.
She is most interested in non-destructive testing in the aviation industry and this is what Karolina would like to do in the near future. So far she has gained the most experience in accounting and ground handling of aircraft.

Post-doc
High-Throughput Single-Cell RNA and ATAC Sequencing
Dr. Julita Machlowska obtained her Master of Science degree in Biotechnology in 2010 at the Jagiellonian University and a PhD degree in Medical Sciences in 2020 at the Medical University of Lublin. In 2012-2017 she worked in Center for Medical Genomics – OMICRON, where she developed her skills in a next generation sequencing. Dr. Machlowska is an author of four reviews and seven original papers (https://www.scopus.com/authid/detail.uri?authorId=57073862000)
Dr Machlowska’s major task in CGG is to perform high-throughput single-cell RNA and ATAC sequencing to address fundamental questions in eye research.

Postdoctoral Researcher
optics, optoelectronic, vision sciences, psychophysics
I am an engineer experienced in optics and biophotonics for biomedical and industrial applications. I combine optical, programming, and analyzing skills to develop new diagnostics tools for the early detection of eye diseases.
At ICTER, I investigate the two-photon vision phenomenon and its potential applications, like two-photon microperimetry. I am also involved in developing a 2-photon-excited fluorescence scanning laser ophthalmoscope system.
