Farewell to Dr. Krzysztof Nowiński
It is with great sadness that we received the news that on September 28, 2025, early Sunday morning, one of the founders of ICM, Dr. Krzysztof Nowiński, passed away. His departure is a tremendous loss to our entire community. He will forever remain in our memory as a person full of passion, dedication, and profound knowledge.
Krzysztof had extensive expertise in scientific visualization and visual analysis, was a leading creator of the VisNow visualization platform, and actively contributed to its development until the end of his life. He had an extraordinary gift for devising and implementing complex visualization algorithms. His exceptional depth of understanding of mathematical problems allowed him to explain mathematical concepts to colleagues and students in a highly intuitive and simple way. He was an outstanding scientist and educator.
Dr. Nowiński also took part in many important scientific projects – among them in the fields of quantum chemistry, visualization of airline connections, and medicine: brain activity imaging, surgical planning for major arteries in newborns with heart defects, detection of atherosclerotic changes in coronary arteries, foot deformities, and Achilles tendon healing. At the same time, for many years, he was responsible for visualizing numerical weather forecasts developed at ICM.
