Adam Krzyzak received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in computer engineering from the Wroclaw University of Science and Technology, Poland, in 1977 and 1980, respectively, and D.Sc. degree (habilitation) in computer engineering from the Warsaw University of Technology, Poland in 1998. In 2003 he received the Title of Professor from the President of the Republic of Poland. Since 1983, he has been with the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada, where he is currently a Professor. In 1983, he held an International Scienti c Exchange Award in the School of Computer Science, McGill University, Montreal, Canada, in 1991, the Vineberg Memorial Fellowship at the Technion {Israel Institute of Technology and, in 1992, Humboldt Research Fellowship at the University of Erlangen-Nuernberg, Germany. He visited the University of California Irvine, Information Systems Laboratory at Stanford University, Riken Frontiers Research Laboratory, Japan, Stuttgart University, Technical University of Berlin, University of Saarlandes and Technical University Darmstadt. He published over 300 papers on neural networks, pattern recognition, nonparametric estimation, image processing, computer vision and control. He has been an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Neural Networks and IEEE Transactions on Information Theory and is presently an Associate Editor-in-Chief of the Pattern Recognition Jour- nal. He was co-editor of the book Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (Singapore: World Scientific, 1989) and is a co-author of the book A Distribution-Free Theory of Nonparametric Regression, New York: Springer, 2002. He has been co-chair of the Program Committee of the 10-th IEEE International Conference on Advanced Video and Signal-Based Surveillance 2013 and International Conference on Pattern Recognition and Artificial Intelligence 2018. He has served among others on the program committees of Vision Interface Conference, International Conference on Document Processing and Applications, International Conference on Computer Vision, Pattern Recognition and Image Processing and International Conference on Pattern Recognition. He co-organized a workshop at NIPS'94 Conference and was a session organizer at The World Congress of Nonlinear Analysts in 2000, 2004 and 2008. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and a Fellow of the IAPR.
