About Professor Dobrzyński - a great man has passed away

Ludwik Dobrzyński was born on 27 January 1941 in the town of Asino in Siberia. He completed his studies in physics in 1964 at the then Faculty of Mathematics and Physics of the University of Warsaw, defending his master's thesis on the motion of atomic ions in solid solutions. From 1963 he was associated with the Świerk centre. He obtained his doctoral degree at the Institute of Nuclear Research (IBJ) in 1969 with a thesis entitled "Research on the motion of atomic ions in solid solutions"; its supervisor was Prof. Jerzy Kociński. Ludwik Dobrzyński worked at Department II of the IBJ. In 1975, he was awarded a postdoctoral degree on the basis of his thesis entitled "The Fourier Analysis of Magnetic Form Factors of Some 3d FCC Alloys". From 1981 to 1983, he served as Deputy Head of the Department of Nuclear Methods of Solid State Physics of the IBJ. During this time he was also involved in Solidarity activities. He paid for it by losing his employment during martial law. For a while, he and his wife taught dance, after which he found employment at the University of Białystok. In 1991, he was awarded the title of professor by the President of the Republic of Poland, and in 2007-2008 he served as Dean of the Faculty of Physics at the University of Białystok. He returned to Świerk in 1996 while continuing to work at UwB. At the Institute of Nuclear Problems he established the Training and Consultancy Department (now the Education and Training Division), of which he was the first and long-standing director. Thanks to his idea, passion and many times persistence in pursuing his goal, the institute was visited during the past 25 years by approx. 200,000 visitors - mainly schoolchildren, teachers and students, who had the opportunity to become acquainted with the operation of the MARIA nuclear reactor and gain a basic knowledge of radiation and nuclear technology. For more than a dozen years, Professor Dobrzyński was chairman of the organising committee and jury of the "Physical Paths" competition for students. From 2012 to 2014, Professor Dobrzyński was also a lecturer at Cardinal Stefan Wyszyński University.

Professor Dobrzyński worked very intensively in Poland and internationally to rationalise the approach to the dangers of ionising radiation and nuclear power. He was an advocate for the inclusion of knowledge of radiation hormesis in both legislation and practice. Since 2002, he was a member of the Polish delegation to the meetings of the UNSCEAR Committee (United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation) and since 2009 its Vice-Chairman.

Professor Dobrzyński's scientific output comprises approximately 300 papers. He was a corresponding member of the Warsaw Scientific Society (since 2017. ), member of the Physics Committee of the Polish Academy of Sciences (1987 - 1993), chairman of the Commission on Nuclear Methods in Condensed Matter Physics in the Atomic Affairs Council of the State Atomic Energy Agency (2005-2008), member of the Editorial Committee of Physica Scripta[8] (2005-2014), member of the Programme Committee of the XIX Congress of the International Union of Crystallography, Geneva (2002) and the General Conference of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society, CMD24, Edinburgh (2012).

Professor Dobrzyński was awarded the Knight's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta and the Crosses of Merit.

The funeral service was celebrated on 18 January at 12 noon in the chapel at the Evangelical-Reformed Cemetery in Warsaw, 42 Żytnia Street (entrance from Młynarska Street), followed by interment to the grave in the local cemetery.

Memory of Professor Dobrzynski at our Institute

Most of Professor Dobrzyński's scientific life was associated with our Centre: it was here that he began his scientific career in 1963, here that he built our competence in the field of nuclear methods of solid state physics, here that he was active in Solidarność, for which he paid the price, and finally here that he created a unique educational centre on a European scale, bringing young people and teachers closer to the difficult issues of nuclear energy and radiation. Professor Dobrzyński was the author of some 300 scientific papers, promoter of doctoral theses, member of scientific committees and organisations, including the Vice-Chairman of the Scientific Committee of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation UNSCEAR. He popularised knowledge willingly and enthusiastically, organising competitions, events, giving numerous interviews and recording lectures. For his activities he was awarded, among others, the Knight's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta and the Cross of Merit.

Above all, however, Professor Dobrzyński was a wonderful, cheerful, kind man - an excellent listener radiating a smile and inner warmth, a man endowed with many wonderful talents. 
We will miss him greatly!
Our deepest sympathies go to his loved ones.

Memories of Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński
(Prof. Krzysztof Kurek)

Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński - a warm and always smiling man - passed away from us on 10 January. He was not only a good physicist and populariser of science, but also my friend, advisor and one of the three people who shaped my adult professional life. We met for the first time in Białystok - he being forced to leave the Institute under martial law, and I taking up my first job after defending my doctorate at the Białystok Branch of the Warsaw University. We started right away by arguing about the shape of the future faculty, about how, and what, to teach students at the newly-established university? These disputes were later fought over many times in the IPJ and NCBJ on various topics, because Professor Warmus was a strong personality and was able to defend his opinion. Over the years, Professor became my friend and advisor on many difficult issues. He was a man of many talents. He liked painting and music, and danced very well. He also played the piano, including at my wedding. He also had an episode in his life of being an organiser of classical music concerts. He had a talent for organisation and unparalleled energy, which he was able to infect his colleagues with. He did not lose this energy until the end. Despite declining health, lack of strength and the threat of a pandemic, he was active and working until the end.

Dear Ludwik,

You are now on the better side, you probably already know the answers to your questions about the nature of the world. We will miss you very much!

Memories of the late Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński
(Prof. Grzegorz Wrochna)

When I learnt that Prof Dobrzyński had passed away, images stood before my eyes: his warm, ever-present smile, his silhouette as he showed visitors around the Training Division, with great kindness but also pride in what he was showing. I remembered his soft, gentle tone of voice as he talked about nuclear physics and its applications.
I remember, he once invited me, fresh from my habilitation, to give a talk at the then UW branch in Białystok. We were travelling together by train. I boasted that the director of the IPJ, Professor Sujkowski, had invited me to attend the directorate's meetings. Professor Dobrzyński then looked at me with concerned eyes and asked: "And what will you be doing there?". But it sounded as if he wanted to ask: "And what will you be doing there child?", and in his voice there was the concern of an adult for a toddler who would now be walking down the street and crossing the road by himself. A year later I became director of the Institute, but the Professor continued to give me that almost paternal concern.
I also remembered his passionate enthusiasm, his passion for popularising science and teaching the young more, much more, than school could give them. In the laboratory he created, the pupils could go unnoticed from playing with a Geiger counter to real scientific experiments. Thanks to this enthusiasm, he was not discouraged by limited resources and was always able to create something out of nothing. He modernised the barrack at the back of the IPJ at his disposal to such an extent that it seemed a luxury in the grey of the IPJ at the time. It was even jokingly referred to as 'Dobrzyński Palace', which sounded almost like 'The Dobrzyńscy Palace'.

Professor Dobrzyński's huge success was the organisation of school trips to Świerk. Pupils viewed an exhibition on nuclear physics and energy, listened to lectures and visited the Maria reactor. Entering the reactor was always a great experience for the pupils. It is one of the few places in the world where, when the reactor is operating, you can stand above the core and see the radiation with your own eyes. The emerald glow of the nuclear reactions makes a huge impression on everyone. There were so many people eager to visit Świerk that schools were signing up a year in advance. And I was able to boast all over the world that our Institute is visited by 7,000-8,000 students every year and observe the admiration and envy in the eyes of colleagues from other countries.

We will miss that warmth and enthusiasm of Prof Dobrzyński very much. And I will always be cheered by his memory to pass on not only knowledge but also passion to the young.

Memories of Prof. Ludwik Dobrzyński
(Prof. Eugeniusz Żukowski)

I was deeply saddened to learn of the death of Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński. We knew each other for almost 40 years. I remember his first 'tour' of his new workplace at the Department of Physics of the Białystok Branch of the University of Warsaw in October 1983. At that time, Ludwik Dobrzyński, PhD, and Tadeusz Krogulski, PhD (both aged 40 and unemployed for several months, dismissed from the Nuclear Research Institute in Świerk in December 1982 for their 'iniquity' in trade union activity in the NSZZ Solidarność trade union), became research fellows at the post of assistant professor in Białystok. This happened thanks to docent Michał Święcki, who was assembling the staff of the Department of Physics during the difficult period of martial law. As docent Michał Święcki recalled years later, he had "dramatic talks about it at the Provincial Committee of the Polish United Workers' Party". In 1983, the Department of Physics at the UW Białystok Branch only employed about a dozen people, including two postdoctoral fellows (the aforementioned Associate Prof. Michał Święcki and Associate Prof. Antoni Kuszell - both former IBJ employees, both now deceased) and several PhDs. Each new hire of postdoctoral or postdoctoral staff was very valuable at the time. Almost half of the current NCBJ management (Prof. Krzysztof Kurek and Prof. Ewa Rondio) also have experience of teaching in Białystok.

Coming back to Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński. Certainly, the need to commute to Białystok every week and the teaching work in the new location was a major challenge for the ambitious young scientist. From the outset, his organisational talents became apparent. At that time there was a group of several young physicists in the Department of Physics without formal scientific supervision, after its head had gone abroad on the eve of the imposition of martial law, and then with no prospect of his return to Poland. It was with this team that Ludwik Dobrzyński, then a PhD student, organised the Laboratory of Nuclear Methods in Solid State Physics, later transformed into the Department of Solid State Physics with four specialised laboratories. The premises of the gymnasium, which was extended years later, were used by the Department. New apparatus appeared, purchased from research projects and apparatus investments thanks to the personal commitment and activity of the Head of the Department. Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński supervised a team of a dozen or so scientists until 2007. For a quarter of a century, I worked in this team under his direction.

At this point, I would like to go back in time for a moment and recall the most important facts from Professor Dobrzyński's biography and some aspects of his activities. This was possible following an analysis of the rather extensive documentation that remained after the period when I held administrative posts and Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński "had to" provide additional information about himself when applying for a distinction for another outstanding scientific, teaching or organisational achievement. Avoiding unnecessary panegyric, I will try to do this in a way that is certainly imperfect, simplified and does not reflect all of Professor Dobrzyński's merits. We certainly do not know about some of them.

Ludwik Roman Dobrzyński, son of Jerzy and Teofila, was born on 27 January 1941 in Asino on the Czułym river in Siberia, in the Tomsk region of the former Soviet Union. He graduated from the Faculty of Mathematics and Physics at the University of Warsaw in 1964, defending his master's thesis "Study of the rotation of ammonium ions in solid solutions", written under the supervision of Professor Bronisław Buras. In 1969, at the IBJ, he defended his doctoral thesis, "Investigations of the internal magnetisation distribution in Co-Fe alloys". The thesis was supervised by Prof. Jerzy Kociński. He was habilitated in 1975 also at the IBJ on the basis of his dissertation "Fourier analysis of magnetic shape factors of some 3d metal alloys with fcc structure".

Ludwik Dobrzyński's first place of employment (before his master's degree) in 1963-1982 was at the Institute of Nuclear Research in Świerk, where he worked in positions ranging from technician through assistant to assistant professor. In Department II of Solid State Physics, he was involved in the study of structures and dynamics of the crystal and magnetic lattice using the thermal neutron scattering technique. In the final period, he was deputy head of the Department. From 1964, he was a member of the Polish Physical Society. From 1964 to 1980, he was also a member of the Polish Teachers' Union. Between 1975 and 13 December 1981, he led youth groups at the KIK. From September 1980, he became a member of the NSZZ of Science, Technology and Education Employees. He organised a trade union circle in the plant and was elected a delegate to the founding congress of Solidarity, of which he became a member in October 1980. In 1980-1981, he was Chairman of Solidarność in IBJ Division II. At the same time, he was editorial secretary and author of publications in the Information Bulletin of the NSZZ " Solidarność" at the Institute. In 1981 he became a member of the IBJ Scientific Council and in December 1982 he was dismissed from the IBJ for trade union activities. For a few months in 1983 he was an employee of the National Concert Bureau.

As I have already mentioned, from October 1983 onwards, Prof. Ludwik Dobrzyński's further scientific career was associated with the Białystok physics department. He received the post of assistant professor on 1 December 1986 and the post of UwB professor on 1 February1991. On 14 January 1992, he was awarded the title of Professor of Physical Sciences. From 1 September 1995, he was a full professor at the University of Warsaw and then at the University of Białystok.

Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński held a number of management positions. In addition to heading the department, he served for several months as head of the Department of Physics. From 1990 to 1993 he was Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences. He headed a large faculty bringing together 4 faculties: biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics. From 1999 to 2002, he was chairman of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Experimental Physics, UwB. In 2007-2008, Prof. Ludwik Dobrzyński was the first Dean of the present Faculty of Physics at the University of Białystok. He organised its work from scratch. Since 1997, he was also Director of the Training and Consultancy Department at the Institute of Nuclear Problems (now the National Centre for Nuclear Research) in Świerk.

Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński was a member of several societies, councils and commissions in national and international scientific organisations, for example: Committee on Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (1991-1993), Section of Condensed Matter Physics of the Committee on Physics of the Polish Academy of Sciences (1993-1996), Scientific Council of the Institute of Atomic Energy in Świerk (1995-1999), Senate Committee on Budget and Finance of the University of Warsaw (1996-1999), Society for the Advancement and Promotion of Science (since 1997), Committee on Education and Public Information in the State Atomic Energy Council (1997-2000), European group Public Awareness of Nuclear Science (PANS) (since 1999). In addition, since 2001 he has participated in an advisory capacity in the sessions of the United Nations Scientific Committee on the Effects of Atomic Radiation (UNSCEAR), and since 2009 he was the deputy delegate of Poland. He was also a member of the editorial board of the scientific journal Physica Scripta.

Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński was involved in the study of crystalline and magnetic structures of solids using X-ray and neutron diffraction techniques, Mössbauer spectroscopy, Compton scattering, and magnetometric techniques. The Laboratory of Compton Spectroscopy, organised by Professor Ludwik from scratch in the 1980s, was the only one of its kind in Poland and one of the few in the world, using highly active gamma-ray sources to study electron momentum distributions. Prof. Ludwik Dobrzyński is also credited with introducing and developing in the non-parametric analysis of experimental data the so-called maximum entropy method, which provides optimal results with limited initial information.

Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński held scientific internships at the Kjeller Institute for Atomic Energy (Norway, 1965-1966, 1993-1994), the United Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna (USSR, 1969-1971), Brookheaven National Laboratory (USA, 1985), Institute for Nuclear Research in Kassaccia (Italy, 1994), University of Delft (Netherlands, 1995), University of Paris VI (France, visits in the period 1991-2001), not counting measurement sessions on synchrotrons at ESRF in Grenoble and Daresbury Laboratory in the UK. These placements and active cooperation with many national and foreign research centres have resulted in numerous contacts and, consequently, in the departure of the department's staff for scientific placements in these centres, enabling further scientific advances in Prof. Ludwik Dobrzyński's department.

Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński has published more than 240 scientific papers and popular science articles and, together with Konrad Blinowski, the monograph "Neutrons and solid state physics", published by Ellis Horwood (1994). He is also the author of a chapter in the monograph 'X-Ray Compton Scattering', published by Oxford University Press (2004). He has authored and co-authored numerous educational materials and reports on radiological protection and biological effects of ionising radiation for pupils, students and teachers, posted on the NCBJ Education and Training Division website. He wrote many articles for the local press popularising nuclear power and nuclear physics research.

In 1986 Prof. Ludwik Dobrzyński received the Team Award of the Minister of Higher Education, in 1994. - also the Scientific Award of the Minister of National Education. In 1996 he was awarded the Order of Merit for the Białystok Region, and in 2003 he was honoured with the Golden Cross of Merit. In 2010 he was awarded the Medal of the Commission of National Education, in 2011. - Medal of the University of Białystok, the highest decoration of our university. He has also received several Awards from the Rector of UW, the Vice-Chancellor of UW and the Rector of UwB.

In addition to those mentioned earlier, Prof. Ludwik Dobrzyński's special contributions to the University of Białystok and to Białystok physics can be summarised in the following few points. He promoted 5 PhDs in his department and scientifically supported three postdoctoral theses in his team. He was the initiator and long-time chairman of first the Schools of Magnetism, then the International Schools of Condensed Phase Physics and Chemistry held in Białowieża, organised by the Department of Solid State Physics until 2009. For 20 years, the School has gained a reputation as a good place where young scientists from many countries meet and exchange experiences and listen to lectures on the latest trends in condensed phase research. He and his department organised the prestigious cyclic conference on charge density distributions, spins and momentum of electrons "Sagamore XIII" for the first time in Poland in 2000 and the 23rd General Conference of the Condensed Matter Division of the European Physical Society "CMD23" in 2010.

Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński was actively involved in popularising physics. He gave several popular science lectures a year (including invited lectures at the Congresses of Polish Physicists), regularly took part in the Science and Art Festival in Białystok and in Scientific Picnics in Warsaw. He organised - and for 27 years chaired - the Solid State Physics Seminar, where the current research results of experimental departments were presented, and invited guests, often eminent physicists, presented the latest achievements of their centres. One of the Professor's "hobbies" was radiation hormesis. He was an expert in the hypothesis (well documented, but little used in practice), of the beneficial effect of small doses of ionising radiation on living organisms and the stimulation by this radiation of growth and repair processes in cells.

Professor was a very good lecturer, liked and appreciated by his students, often covering the subject with reference to areas far removed from the primary domain of his research. He prepared 5 scripts for course and monograph lectures that were appreciated by students. As an aside: I became quite familiar with these scripts years ago when making a hobbyist transfer of text from Professor's favourite ChiWriter editor to the newer MSWord editor; I particularly liked working with the equation editor at the time.

Particular emphasis should be placed on Professor's conscientiousness, reliability and punctuality in carrying out the tasks he undertook. It would be difficult to find a more competent, conscientious and insightful scientist-naturalist with broad horizons, not shying away from issues on the borderline of physics and biology, chemistry or medicine, involved in everyday research using nuclear methods. In his activities he showed great energy and organisational talent. In addition, he was always interested in the private lives of his colleagues, offering advice and experience. At a time when meetings in restaurants were not yet so popular (at least here in Podlasie), "summaries" of scientific promotions of colleagues were often organised in the flats of those involved, always with Professor's participation and always with a great deal of humour. On several occasions, I personally lent my humble abode for informal meetings with invited guests from abroad, also attended by Professor himself, of course. I also recall with nostalgia working visits to the home of Mr and Mrs Dobrzyński in Warsaw and the pleasant atmosphere created by the host's wife, Maria.

Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński's hobbies included playing the violin and piano. Apart from the Polyhymnia, he was familiar with the muses of other arts: theatre, poetry and ... dance. It turned out that in the years 1965-1967 he was a participant in international ballroom dance competitions, taking part in the Polish national team. These talents were evident at conference banquets, in particular at the School of Physics and Condensed Phase Chemistry in Białowieża, Professor's favourite international meeting. He always gave a welcoming toast with a great deal of humour, there were always dances organised in which he would shine on the dance floor and, if there was an opportunity, play the piano or the piano. To this day, we recall with fondness those meetings of a dozen years ago and their results, even though the organisation of the subsequent Schools cost the whole Department a few months' extra work.

The academic year 2010/2011 was the last year of Prof. Ludwik Dobrzyński's work at the Faculty of Physics of the University of Białystok. The achievements of the Faculty of Physics over the more than 50-year history of the development of university physics in Białystok are also the result of his almost 30 years of presence and creative work in our environment. After bidding farewell to the Faculty of Physics of the University of Białystok in 2011, Prof. Ludwik Dobrzyński continued to work at the Department of Training and Consultancy at NCN in Świerk until the end of his days.

Prof. Ludwik Dobrzyński's last contacts with our Physics Department, since 2014 in a new building at the UwB campus, were his departmental seminar on 13 October 2020. "Climate, energy ... and common sense", combined with a tour of the new Astronomical Observatory with Planetarium at the UwB campus and - it turns out, his last - a pleasant afternoon at a restaurant with former colleagues. We also took the opportunity to visit Professor Warmus's former workplace, to be precise, the place where there is no trace of the former building of the Faculty of Physics (formerly the Department and Institute of Physics), but where modern residential buildings and a hotel have been erected.

Over the past years, we have occasionally exchanged updates. Recently, the Professor bragged about his daughters and grandson. He reported, for example, that his grandson is studying computer science and they are being taught ... how to hack into various computer sites. In his characteristic way, he commented: "a clever child - he has such noble aims". In a letter at the end of October, he discreetly hinted that, unfortunately, life was getting shorter, weaker and weaker and more tiring ... given the health effects in my being, I think I will resign from Świerk with the New Year. This wish came true, but, unfortunately, not in the way the Professor had planned. He died in Warsaw on the night of 10/11 January 2022 at the age of almost 81. He left a wife Maria, daughters Luisa and Dorota with her husband and a grandchild. After many years of cooperation with the late Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński, I can say with conviction that it was a great honour for me to be able to gain experience from discreet observation of his scientific, teaching and organisational activities. After many years of cooperation, our contacts remained at the level of "Dear Professor" - "Dear Gienek". That was our agreement and it suited me to have a master-disciple relationship, even though for some time Professor was formally my subordinate. Master - you will always remain in our memory.

Condolences and memories from the UAM
(Professor Wojciech Nawrocik)

It was with disbelief that I read the news of the death of Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński, whom I met in the 1970s during a joint stay at the Laboratory of Neutron Physics of the United Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna. There I had the opportunity to notice the extraordinary qualities of the late Professor:
His broad knowledge of solid state physics and neutron research, his talent as an experimentalist, his personal culture and his courage in proclaiming his political views.

In the 1980s, I admired the commitment of the late Professor
in the 'Solidarność' movement and the price he paid for this activity.

I was impressed by his academic activities in Warsaw and in Białystok.
I particularly appreciated his scientific achievements and his teaching and popularisation activities
and popularisation at NCBJ.

I am glad that the late Professor had several lectures at the Faculty of Physics of the Adam Mickiewicz University of Poznań
in Poznań, in which he showed his talent as a lecturer.

Each meeting with the late Professor was for me very important
and instructive.

Polish physics has suffered a great loss due to the death of such a talented
and distinguished for science and popularisation of physics, the late Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński.

Please accept my sincere condolences to the family of the deceased.
and the NCBJ Staff.

Ludwik, rest in peace

Stanisław Gębalski – NSZZ „Solidarność”

In remembering the deceased on 10.01.2022. Professor Ludwik Dobrzyński, a man of indefatigable energy and many passions, we should also remember his social activity in the important years 1980-1981 for Poland.

As early as September 1980, he was one of the co-organisers of the establishment of the NSZZ of Science, Technology and Education Employees at the Nuclear Research Institute (IBJ), founded its circle at his home plant, and became a delegate to its founding convention.

As soon as the NSZZ "Solidarność" was established at the Nuclear Research Institute, he became a member of the NSZZ "Solidarność" and chairman of the circle at his home plant.

His greatest achievement in social activity during this period, was his work in the Information Bulletin published by the IBJ "Solidarność", in which he published his articles, served as secretary of the editorial board and, in fact, as an informal editor-in-chief.

It should be noted that the 'Biuletyn Informacyjny NSZZ "Solidarność" was not a local print, but an important, opinion-forming periodical in the Mazovia Region of the NSZZ "Solidarność", which was published in a circulation of 700-2200 copies and was printed in A4 format on offset. A total of 25 issues of the Bulletin were published, together with 9 thematic volumes of the Bulletin Library and, during the period of the National Congress of Delegates of NSZZ "Solidarność", 13 special issues of the magazine containing reports from the Congress. A beautiful achievement and a source of pride for those who worked on it and for the IBJ "Solidarność" as a whole, it was our best legitimacy at the time.

In December 1982, as a result of repression for his union activities, he and a group of about 100 IBJ employees were dismissed from their jobs.

Thank you, Professor
