报告摘要：

Anna Piwowar's work on linear time-varying (LTV) systems has led to the development of methods that improve the dynamic responses of electrical filters, which is essential for increasing the efficiency of filtering processes. The use of LTV filters in her research demonstrates an advanced approach to managing system load fluctuations, which is critical for reduction of harmonic distortions to improve the quality of electrical power. Dr. Piwowar has also applied her research to practical industrial applications, particularly projects that improve manufacturing processes through automated identification and removal of defects using blasting techniques.
