[5] Becoming a full professor in 1957, Oliner acted as the head of the institute's department of electrical engineering in between 1966 and 1974.

[4] In 1991, he was elected to the National Academy of Engineering for his "contributions to the theory of guided electromagnetic waves and antennas.

"[1] He was a recipient of the IEEE Heinrich Hertz Medal (2000) and Distinguished Educator Award of the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society, of which he was a Honorary Life Member.

[2] During his career, Oliner was also employed as an engineering consultant for IBM, Boeing, Raytheon Technologies, Hughes Aircraft Company and Rockwell International.

[5] Oliner's research work encompassed a wide array of topics in microwave field theory, including but not limited to equivalent networks and circuits, precision measurements, leaky and surface waves on waveguides, traveling-wave antennas, phased arrays and periodic structures.
