Professor Gwarek's specialized field is microwave technology and electromagnetic theory. Since 1984 he has been concentrating on the time domain computational electromagnetics. He is a worldwide recognized expert on microwave technology and computational electrodynamics. His industrial consulting activity included cooperation with many leading companies on the global market. The achievements in this domain brought him the rank of Fellow of the IEEE (2001). In the years 2003-2005 he served as an IEEE Distinguished Microwave Lecturer. He is author of over 250 publications, mainly on electromagnetic modelling, including frequently quoted publications for the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques. In 2011 he received the prestigious IEEE Microwave Pioneer Award delivered to the authors of publications fundamental to the domain of microwaves as seen from the time perspective of more than 20 years. He has been serving as a reviewer for many leading journals and many international symposia. Wojciech Gwarek is co-author of QuickWave software and co-founder of QWED.
