She is a professor in the Faculty of Electronics, Telecommunications and Informatics at the Gdańsk University of Technology, where she heads the Audio Acoustics Laboratory.[1]

Education and career

Kostek received master's degrees in 1983 and 1986 from the Gdańsk University of Technology, in sound engineering and management, respectively. Next, she studied at Toulouse III - Paul Sabatier University in France, where she received a diplôme d'études approfondies, another master's degree, in 1989. After continued studies in France, she returned to the Gdańsk University of Technology for a 1992 Ph.D. concerning the control systems in pipe organs.[1] She received a Doctor of Science degree in 2000 through the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2000, and was named as a professor by the president of Poland (the highest-level academic degree in Poland) in 2005.[1]

She has been affiliated as an academic at the Gdańsk University of Technology since 1986.[2] She was vice-chair of the Multimedia Systems Department from 2003 to 2006, and is now a full professor.[3] She is also the former editor-in-chief of the open-access journal Archives of Acoustics.[3][4]
