Professor Marek Bialkowski's research interests are in: Communications/Antenna Systems, Microwave Engineering and Computational Electromagnetics. He received his M.Eng.Sc degree (1974) in applied mathematics and his PhD (1979) in electrical engineering (telecommunications) from the Warsaw University of Technology. Professor Bialkowski received a Doctor of Engineering (higher doctorate) degree (2000) in computer science and electrical engineering from the University of Queensland (UQ).
In 1977 Professor Bialkowski joined the Institute of Radioelectronics, Warsaw University of Technology, where he became an Assistant Professor in 1979. In 1981, the Irish Department of Education awarded him a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship. He then researched the analysis and optimisation of microwave circuits for a year at University College Dublin. In 1982, he won a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship from UQ, where he worked on electromagnetic models of waveguide mounts for Gunn and Impatt diode oscillators and amplifiers. In 1984, Professor Bialkowski joined James Cook University, Townsville, Australia, as a communications Lecturer and then a Senior Lecturer. In 1988, he was a Visiting Lecturer in at the University of Southampton, U.K. In 1989, he returned to UQ, where he is the Head of the Wireless Communication Research Group. Professor Bialkowski has also held appointments as Visiting Professor at the University of Victoria, Canada (1994), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (1998-99), City University of Hong Kong (2001), the National University of Singapore (2003) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich (2003).
Professor Bialkowski’s research interests include smart antenna technologies and signal processing techniques for wireless applications, phased array antennas for mobile cellular and satellite communications, low profile antennas for reception of satellite broadcast TV programs, industrial and biomedical applications of microwaves, electromagnetic modelling of waveguiding and radiating structures, and space-level power combining for solid-state oscillators and amplifiers. His work in these areas led to the development of many working prototypes including a single and dual six-port network analyser, phased and switched beam array antennas for Mobilesat, a radial line slot array antenna for receiving DBS TV programs, and reflection and transmission types of space-level power combiners. The results of his work appear in over 500 refereed technical papers and several book chapters he has published.
His current research projects are in the fields of:
• Technologies and Signal Processing Techniques for Smart Antenna Systems
• Space-Level Power Combiners for Solid-State Amplifiers
• Design of Wideband and Multi-Band Antennas for Wireless Transceivers
• Microwave Imaging
• Microstrip Reflectarrays
Professor Bialkowski was awarded the 2000 Harold A. Wheeler Applications Prize Honorable Mention for a 1999 paper. In 2002, he was elected an IEEE Fellow for his research into microwave guiding and radiating structures.
He has reviewed many international journals and conferences and is a member of editorial boards for the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques and for the Microwave and Optical Technology Letters. He has been a member of an advisory committee to many international conferences including Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC), Progress in Electromagnetic Research (PIERS) and International Wireless Communications Symposium (IWTS). Professor Bialkowski has also been a member of TPC to many international conferences including an International Microwave Symposium, and Phased Array Systems and Technology.
In 2002-2003, he was a Chair of the IEEE Joint Chapter of Microwave Theory and Techniques/Antennas and Propagation Societies in Queensland.
Professor Bialkowski appears in a number of international biographical references including Marquis Who’s Who in the World (USA), Who’s Who in Science and Engineering (USA), International Biographical Dictionary (UK) and Polonia 2000 (France).
