Dr Tadeusz Wysocki received the MEngSc degree with the highest distinction in
telecommunications from the Academy of Technology and Agriculture, Bydgoszcz, Poland, in
1981. From then till the end of 1991, he was with the Academy of Technology and Agriculture.
In 1984, after three years of research in the area of modulation theory, he received his PhD
degree, summa cum laude, from the
Warsaw University of Technology.

He then continued research into combined modulation and coding and in 1990, he was
awarded the DSc degree (Habilitation) in telecommunications engineering from the Warsaw
University of Technology.

In January 1992, Tad started his Australian adventure after moving to Perth, Western Australia
to work at Edith Cowan University’s Joondalup Campus. Shortly after settling down in his new
country, he was invited to join a group to bid for funding to establish a Cooperative Research
Centre for Broadband Telecommunications and Networking.

However, before this collaboration took place, Tad moved back to Europe in 1993, where he
was a visiting senior research fellow at Fernuniversitaet of Hagen, Germany, under an
Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellowship. The research involved working on coded
modulations and problems related to mobile telephony.

On his return to Perth in 1994, he was appointed Project Leader, Wireless ATM LANs, at the
CRC for Broadband Telecommunications and Networking, and the manager of the CRC-BTN
node at Edith Cowan University. After a restructure of the CRC in 1997, he was given the
position of Program Leader, Wireless Systems, maintaining his leadership in the Wireless ATM
LAN project.

In December 1998, he joined the
University of Wollongong as an associate professor, and in
August 1999 he assumed a position of Research Coordinator for the Switched Networks
Research Centre within the Telecommunications & Information Technology Research Institute
(TITR). In 2003, he established the
Wireless Research Group in TITR, which he directed until
the end of 2007, when he moved to take up a Professorship of Computer and Electronics
Engineering at
Peter Kiewit Institute at the University of Nebraska - Lincoln.

Dr Wysocki is the author or co-author of seven books, over 190 research publications and nine
patents. His areas of research interest include: indoor propagation of microwaves, code
division multiple access (CDMA), digital modulation and coding schemes, space-time signal
processing, as well as mobile data protocols including those for ad-hoc networks. He is a
Senior Member of IEEE, a member of the Australian Association of von Humboldt Fellows, and
a member of the editorial board of the Journal of Telecommunications and Information
Technology. He also served as an associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Microwave theory
and Techniques.
