About

Wiktoria Rajewicz is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of ecology, robotics, and environmental monitoring. Her work focuses on developing biohybrid systems that integrate living freshwater organisms with robotic platforms to create novel biosensors and power-generation mediators. Rajewicz’s key contributions include identifying and characterizing organisms capable of serving as “living sensors” for automated underwater monitoring, addressing the urgent need for continuous, cost-effective water quality surveillance in the face of global warming and urban growth. Her most cited paper, “Freshwater organisms potentially useful as biosensors and power-generation mediators in biohybrid robotics” (2021, 15 citations), establishes a foundational framework for this emerging field. Subsequent works, such as “Living Organisms as Sensors for Biohybrid Monitoring Systems” (2023, 4 citations) and “Lifeforms potentially useful for automated underwater monitoring systems” (2022, 2 citations), further refine these concepts, exploring how behavioral observations of aquatic life can detect environmental fluctuations. Rajewicz’s research offers a transformative approach to biomonitoring, replacing time-consuming classical methods with continuous, organism-driven data collection. Her innovative integration of biology and robotics positions her as a leading voice in sustainable environmental technology, with implications for global water conservation and early warning systems.
