Professor Szyszkowski specialized in Probability and Stochastic Processes. His main research interests were in Limit Theorems.

The staff and students wish Professor Szyszkowki all the best in his retirement. Irek’s dry sense of humour and enthusiasm for "advanced" mathematics kept the students engaged and interested during his classes. Professor Szyszkowski made an immense contribution within the department and he will be missed.
