Dr Beata Joanna Wysocki graduated from Warsaw University of Technology receiving her MEng degree in Electrical Engineering in 1991, after completing her undergraduate study brutally interrupted by the horror of a martial law, which was declared in Poland on 13 December, 1981. Shortly after the graduation, she migrated with her family to Australia. In 1994, she started the PhD study in the Australian Telecommunications Research Institute at Curtin University of Technology. In March 2000, she was awarded her PhD for the thesis: " Signal Formats for Code Division Multiple Access Wireless Networks". During the PhD studies, she was involved in a research project "Wireless ATM Hub" at the Cooperative Research Centre for Broadband Telecommunications and Networking, and worked as a research assistant at Edith Cowan University, within the ARC funded projects: "CDMA with enhanced protection against frequency selective fading", and "Reliable high rate data transmission over microwave local area networks". From October 1999 till July 2002 she was with the Telecommunications & Information Technology Research Institute at the University of Wollongong as an associate research fellow. From August 2002 until December 2007 she was with the School of Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering working as a research fellow on an ARC Discovery projects "Space-Time Codes from Orthogonal, Amicable and General Designs" and "Diversity Improvements in Ultra-Wide Band Communications". From February 2008 she has been with the Department of Computer and Electronics Engineering, University of Nebraska-Lincoln as an Assistant Research Professor. Her research interests include sequence design for Direct Sequence (DS) Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) systems, smart antennas for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) systems, Space-Time Block Codes and Ultra- Wideband communication systems. |
