In Dr Elżbieta Kasperska, we have lost an outstanding teacher and mentor to many generations of students at the Faculty of Applied Mathematics and the Faculty of Electrical Engineering. Her colleagues and students valued her extensive knowledge, kindness and smile. She will be remembered as an excellent lecturer who had a good rapport with students and as a sensitive, warm and cordial person.

We extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the deceased.
