UA Engineer Comes Full Circle as Fellow of Elite Physics Group

The American Physical Society has named Litton Industries John M. Leonis Distinguished Professor in electrical and computer engineering Richard W. Ziolkowski a 2016 fellow.

A physics-trained professor of electrical engineering who researches and develops antennas for medical implants, space communications and more, Ziolkowski sees the fellowship as a return to form.

“Because all my degrees are in physics, the APS fellowship makes me feel I’ve come full circle,” said Ziolkowski, who became a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 1994 and of the Optical Society of America in 2006.
