Early life

edit

He received MS, PhD,[3][4] and D.Sc.[5] (habilitation) degrees from the Department of Electronics, Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland, in 1971, 1978, and 1984, respectively.[6][7] From 1972 to 1984, he was with the Institute of Radio Electronics, Department of Electronics, Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland,[7] where he was involved in academic teaching and scientific research.

In 1984, he was a design electrical engineer at Design Automation, Inc., Lexington, MA, US.[7]

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, US.[7]

Since 1985, he has been with the Department of Electrical Engineering, Wright State University, Dayton, OH, US, where he is currently a Distinguished Professor.[8]

Research

edit

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-band gap 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.[9]

He is the author or co-author 8 academic and engineering books published by John Wiley & Sons[10] and Pearson (formerly, Prentice-Hall). Two of his books have been translated into Chinese. Web of Science shows about 8,300 citations with h-index = 50 and average citation per paper = 20.91.[11] Google Scholar shows about 22,000 citations with h-index = 68 and i10-index = 311.[9] Scopus Preview shows about 11,125 citations with h-index = 55.[12] He also holds 8 patents.[13]

Distinctions

edit

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.[14]

He is a Distinguished Fellow of the Collegium of Eminent Scientists of Polish Origin and Ancestry, The Kosciuszko Foundation, US.[15]

He is a member the American Society for Engineering Education.

He holds a position in the ranking "Top Scientists - Electronics and Electrical Engineering".[16]
