Biography
He received MS, PhD, and D.Sc. (habilitation) degrees from the Department of Electronics, Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland, in 1971, 1978, and 1984, respectively. From 1972 to 1984, he was with the Institute of Radio Electronics, Department of Electronics, Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland, where he was involved in academic teaching and scientific research.
In 1984, he was a design electrical engineer at Design Automation, Inc., Lexington, MA, USA.
From 1984 to 1985, he was a Visiting Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University, Blacksburg, VA, USA.
Since 1985, he has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering, Wright State University, Dayton, OH, USA, where he is currently a Distinguished Professor.
Research
His research interests are in the field of power electronics, in particular dc-dc power resonant and pulse-width modulated (PWM) converters, high-efficiency RF power amplifiers and oscillators, wide-bandgap power SiC and GaN power semiconductor devices, modeling and control of power converters, linearization of nonlinear circuits, high-frequency magnetic components, electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps, power quality, electromagnetic compatibility, probabilistic circuit design, wireless power transfer, renewable energy sources, and engineering education.
He works on exploring ways to improve the energy efficiency and increase the operating frequencies of high-frequency power electronic circuits. He was one of the first scientists in the world, working on the development of soft-switching lossless low-noise techniques, such as zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS) of transistors, used first in high-efficiency high-frequency Class-E power amplifiers and oscillators. Later these techniques were extended to diodes and resonant DC-DC power converters.
He was one of the first developer of electronic ballasts for fluorescent lamps to improve the quality of artificial light by eliminating light flickering, improving the lamp energy efficiency, extending the lamp lifetime, improving the power quality, and nearly eliminating current harmonics by an active power factor corrector. This high-impact technology is widely used around the world, especially in all developed countries, resulting in huge energy savings and producing high-quality flicker-free artificial light. He has also made significant contributions to circuit-averaging techniques of power converters.
His research is also focused on wireless power transfer (WPT) for applications in battery chargers for electric vehicles.
He looks at ways to understand and model high-frequency magnetic devices by combining applied physics with electrical engineering. He also explores various aspects of renewable energy sources to achieve a sustainable carbon-neutral society.
He has a very strong publication and citation record.[2] He has published his research results in over 500 scientific papers, including over 240 scientific articles in archival peer-reviewed high-tier high-impact prestigious journals, such as IEEE transactions and IET journals, and over 300 papers presented at top international conferences. He is also the author or co-author of 8 academic and engineering books published by John Wiley & Sons and Pearson (formerly, Prentice-Hall). Two of his books have been translated into Chinese. He also holds 8 patents.[3] Web of Science shows over 6,000 citations with h-index = 44 and average citation per paper = 28.44. Google Scholar shows about 18,000 citations with h-index = 64 and i10-index = 285.
He has spent 50 years at the forefront of discovery and innovation in electronics. He is a high-impact scientist. His scientific contributions to science and engineering are internationally recognized. He is one of the most cited Polish scientists in the fields of his research. He exhibits a strong passion for education. His inspiring mentorship has changed lives of many students. He has been teaching undergraduate and graduate courses for many generations of students. He supervised to completion 22 PhD dissertations and over 100 MS theses. Many of his former students work in high-profile institutions and corporations.
Distinctions
In 2009, his Title of Professor of Technical Sciences was conferred by the President of the Republic of Poland.
He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE.[1]
He is a Distinguished Fellow of the Collegium of Eminent Scientists of Polish Origin and Ancestry, The Kosciuszko Foundation, USA.
He is a member the American Society for Engineering Education.
Professional and Editorial Service
He has served as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems-I, IEEE Transactions on Industrial Electronics, IET Circuits, Devices and Systems, International Journal of Circuits Theory and Applications, Archives of Electrical Engineering and International Journal of Circuits and Systems. He served as a reviewer of research proposals for NSF, US Department of Energy, European Research Council, and research councils and founding institutions of many countries. He has also reviewed papers for many prestigious technical journals and international conferences.
