Researchers from the group have extensive experience in designing experiments with the participation of human subjects, in particular online experiments using Crowdsourcing platforms. Another area of expertise of the group is participatory design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Together with professor Grzegorz S\u0119dek from SWPS University, an acclaimed researchers who specializes in cognitive aging, we lead the project \u201cE-commerce & Ageing\u201d, dedicated to the study of how cognitive aging affects decisions of e-commerce users. This research project is strongly interdisciplinary, requiring to bridge two distant disciplines of psychology and informatics. Professor Rados\u0142aw Nielek and dr Klara Rydzewska participated in the project as post-docs, along with two Ph.D students: Justyna Paw\u0142owska and Kinga Skorupska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr Tomasz Kaszuba<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dr Micha\u0142 Jankowski-Lorek<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\nPostdocs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Social Informatics research group at PJAIT has been involved in multiple of my research projects. The earliest research direction of the group concerned online collaboration on Wikipedia and later GitHub. Another related area of research concerned trust management using reputation systems. From there, the research group became involved in supporting Web content credibility evaluation and online disinformation detection. Last but not least, the group has become involved in a separate research direction: designing ICT technology for supporting the well-being of elderly users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
ICT for Elders<\/strong>
In 2013, I have founded a research group working on the design and development of ICT technology specifically for elderly users, taking into account their cognitive abilities and health, and aiming to improve their well-being. The ageing of our societies is, besides climate change, one of the greatest social challenges of the XXIst century. Since then, the research group is headed by my former Ph.D student and postdoc \u2013 now a professor of PJAIT, professor Rados\u0142aw Nielek. The group has participated in several research projects, including the Dream project of Horizon2020, headed by the Social Informatics research group of professor Fabio Casati from the University of Trento. Prof. Nielek is member of the executive committee of Net4Age-Friendly, a COST excellence network that has been chosen by the United Nations as an example of good practices in this area.

EEG Laboratory in Lublin<\/strong>
Together with professor Grzegorz W\u00f3jcik, an expert in Neuroinformatics, who leads an EEG Laboratory at the University of Marie Curie-Sk\u0142odowska in Lublin, we are conducting research on how the brain evaluates credibility of information. So far, research in Neuroscience related to credibility has mostly been concerned with lie detection \u2013 the modeling and detection of brain processes of a person who is lying. On the other hand, brain activity during credibility evaluation involves a person who is the recipient of information that may or may not be true. Very little is known in this area, even though it is of great significance today.<\/p>\n\n\n\nFormer Ph.D students<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
