Career
Dr. Ziolkowski has a dual appointment at the University of Arizona. He is a professor of electrical and computer engineering, and a professor of the optical sciences. He has been a full professor of electrical and computer engineering since 1996. Has been a professor of optical sciences since 2006. In 1990, he began at the University of Arizona as an associate professor in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. During his time at this University he was awarded the Kenneth Von Behren Chaired Professor (2003–2005) and is currently the Litton Industries John M. Leonis Distinguished Professor.
Before his first position at the University of Arizona, he was employed by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory from 1981-1990. There he was active in a leadership position of the Engineering Directorate of the LNL Engineering Research Division.
Education and training
At Brown University, in 1974, Richard Ziolkowski earned an Sc.B degree in physics, magna cum laude with honors. He then attended the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. There he received both his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in physics, in 1975 and 1980, respectively. While earning his graduate degrees Dr. Ziolkowski was also a Graduate Teaching Assistant (1974–1977) and then Graduate Research Assistant (1975–1976).
Society memberships
His academic and research achievement, can be reflected by his membership in the engineering honor society Tau Beta Pi, the honor society of research scientists and engineers Sigma Xi, and the multidisciplinary, academic, honor society Phi Kappa Phi.
Richard Ziolkowski is also a current member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, and the American Physical Society.
Concurrently he is also a member of United States segment of International Union of Radio Science (URSI).

Published works
Dr. Ziolkowski received recognition for best paper in several venues. In August 2007,he received the Best Paper Award at the International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (Niigata, Japan). In April 2006 he received the CST University Publication Award. Also in 2006 he received recognition from the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers for the Best Review Paper Award.
Professor Ziolkowski is a co-author and co-editor of Metamaterials: Physics and Engineering Explorations with Nader Engheta. He is also a contributor to other books.
Current areas of research
Among other research areas, his research covers metamaterial-engineered antennas This includes configurations and combinations of single-negative metamaterials, double-negative metamaterials, and naturally occurring materials. The study of these materials pertains to how these may affect scatterers, radiators, fields, resonators, gain, and further miniaturization. He has authored and co-authored over 30 papers (2005–2010) related to this area.
His inquiries also cover fundamental research in metamaterials by studying how the properties of these materials, and their use, may affect various electromagnetic devices.
