Michał Choraś (born in Bydgoszcz) is a Polish computer scientist and professor of engineering and technical sciences in the field of technical computer science and telecommunications.[1] He specializes in artificial intelligence, machine learning, cybersecurity, disinformation detection (including fake news detection), data analysis and correlation, recognition systems, and biometric identification. He serves as a professor at the Faculty of Telecommunications, Computer Science and Electrical Engineering at Bydgoszcz University of Science and Technology (PBŚ). Since 2017, he has also worked at the University of Hagen in Germany (Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, FernUniversität in Hagen, FUH) as well as in the IT industry (since 2005).
Biography
He completed his studies in telecommunications and electronics at the Bydgoszcz University of Science and Technology (formerly the University of Technology and Agriculture in Bydgoszcz), where he also earned his PhD in telecommunications in 2005. He obtained his postdoctoral degree (habilitation) in computer science from the AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków in 2014. In December 2021, at the age of 44, he was awarded the title of Professor of Technical Sciences in the field of technical computer science and telecommunications.[1]. In 2023, he completed a two-year MBA program at Merito University [2]. He is the author or co-author of over 370 peer-reviewed scientific publications [2]. Since 2020, and in subsequent years, he has been included in the prestigious World’s Top 2% Scientists ranking — both in the general category and in the list for the previous year — compiled by Stanford University [3].
Scientific Activity
He is a computer scientist specializing in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, and recognition systems. He has developed numerous methods and solutions in areas such as cybersecurity (including network attack detection, anomaly detection, and malware identification), artificial intelligence and machine learning (new methods and solutions for various applications), and biometric identification. His research also focuses on detecting attacks against machine learning algorithms and mechanisms. In addition, he has contributed to the development of explainable artificial intelligence (xAI) solutions and methods for disinformation detection (fake news), based on natural language processing (NLP). His work also includes data analysis — such as methods for improving the efficiency of rapid software development — as well as the design of systems and solutions for the correlation of security-related data. Since 2014, he has been a member of the Faculty Council, later the Faculty Board, and the Discipline Council for IT and Telecommunications at Bydgoszcz University of Science and Technology. He served two terms as a senator of the university’s Senate (2016–2020, 2020–2024) and was a member of several committees, including the PBŚ Strategy Committee. Elected by the academic community, he became a member of the University Council for the 2021–2024 term and was subsequently re-elected for a second term (2025–2028).
Since 2017, he has been affiliated with the University of Hagen in Germany (Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science, FernUniversität in Hagen, FUH), where he conducted the DeCoiMA project (Detection of and Countermeasures against Information hiding-based Malware). He later secured and coordinated the European H2020 project SIMARGL (Secure Intelligent Methods for Advanced RecoGnition of malware and stegomalware) [4]. He has extensive experience in acquiring, managing, and implementing large-scale research and commercial projects. He served as coordinator of the FP7 project CAMINO (Comprehensive Approach to cyber roadMap coordINation and develOpment)[5] and the H2020 cybersecurity project SIMARGL[4]. He was also the scientific coordinator of the H2020 project SocialTruth (Open Distributed Digital Content Verification for Hyper-connected Sociality)[6], which focused on combating fake news, and led the SAFAIR (Secure and reliable AI systems for citizen) program within the H2020 SPARTA initiative (Strategic Programs for Advanced Research and Technology in Europe)[7][8]. In addition, he has participated in the acquisition and implementation of over 20 European and national projects related to artificial intelligence, disinformation detection, and cybersecurity[1]. These include: SWAROG (NCBiR INFOSTRATEG), H2020 InfraStress, Horizon Europe AI4CYBER, Horizon Europe ULTIMATE, H2020 STARLIGHT, H2020 APPRAISE, H2020 ELEGANT, H2020 Q-Rapids, H2020 PREVISION, DeCoiMA (Germany), IMACOSAR (Germany), StegoMaCoFi (Germany), FP7 SEC CIPRNet, DG HOME CIPHER, FP7 INTERSECTION, FP7 INSPIRE, FP7 INSPIRE-INCO, EDA ATHENA, SOPAS, PBS SECOR, among many others.
He has published in renowned journals such as Future Generation Computer Systems, Engineering Applications of Artificial Intelligence, Neurocomputing, IEEE Transactions on Computational Social Systems, Computers & Security, Neural Computing and Applications, AI & Ethics, Pattern Analysis and Applications, Applied Soft Computing, Information Sciences, Journal of Parallel and Distributed Computing, Journal of Computational Science, IEEE Technology and Society Magazine, and Empirical Software Engineering. He has participated in numerous international conferences and has also organized special sessions in the fields of computer science, artificial intelligence, and cybersecurity[2]. He has reviewed over 20 doctoral theses (both in Poland and abroad), three professorial promotion applications, and has served as a member and reviewer in more than 10 habilitation committees[1][2]. He is a university lecturer, the supervisor of three PhD dissertations in the field of technical computer science and telecommunications, and has co-authored many research works with students and doctoral candidates. He actively promotes topics related to artificial intelligence, disinformation, and cybersecurity in traditional media[9][10][11][12]. In 2024, he co-organized the 29th edition of the prestigious ESORICS (European Symposium on Research in Computer Security) conference, held at Bydgoszcz University of Science and Technology[13][14][15]. He has also collaborated with the European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA), contributing, among other things, to a report on research and innovation[16]
