Paweł Strumiłło is the head of the Institute of Electronics and holds the position of full professor at the Lodz University of Technology (TUL). In 1991-1993 he was with the University of Strathclyde (under the EU Copernicus programme) where he defended his PhD thesis in 1993 devoted to ECG signal processing. His current research interests include medical electronics, processing of biosignals, soft computing methods and human-system interaction systems.

He has published more than 200 scientific papers and three books. He has supervised 8 PhD candidates in electronics, computer science and biomedical engineering disciplines. In 2007 he was the member of the panel "Development scenarios of medical technologies in Poland" working in the framework of the National Foresight Programme "Poland 2020". In 2008 he co-developed new undergraduate course "Biomedical Engineering" taught in English.

In recent years, with his co-workers, he has built award winning assistive technologies for the disabled, e.g. an electronic travel aid for the blind awarded by the Polish Agency for Enterprise Development in 2012, commercialized with Orange Labs. He was a member of the steering committee of the HORIZON 2020 project on aiding the visually impaired (2015-2017). He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, and a member of the Biocybernetics and Biomedical Engineering Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Currently, he is engaged in the COST Action (CA 18110), and serves on the Management Committee.
