Research

Woronowicz and Erling Størmer classified positive maps in low-dimensional cases,^[1] which translate to the Peres-Horodecki criterion in the context of quantum information theory. He is also known for contributions to quantum groups.

Awards

Woronowicz was an invited speaker at International Congress of Mathematicians in Warsaw in 1983 and in Kyoto in 1990.^[2]

He was awarded Humboldt Research Prize in 2008,^[3] and Stefan Banach Medal of the Polish Academy of Sciences in 2009.^[4]
