[9][10] At Brown University, in 1974, Richard Ziolkowski earned an Sc.B degree in physics, magna cum laude with honors.
Concurrently he is also a member of United States segment of International Union of Radio Science (URSI).
In 2007, he was an invited speaker (or lecturer) at the University of Toronto, ISAP 2007 (Niigata, Japan), IWAT 2007 (Cambridge, UK), and NANOMETA 2007(Austria).
In August 2007 he received the Best Paper Award at the International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation (Niigata, Japan).
Also in 2006 he received recognition from the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers for the Best Review Paper Award.
[13] Professor Ziolkowski is a co-author and co-editor of Metamaterials: Physics and Engineering Explorations with Nader Engheta.
[18] His inquiries also cover fundamental research in metamaterials by studying how the properties of these materials, and their use, may affect various electromagnetic devices.
In another instance, a 2003 paper that Professor Ziolkowski published in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation has over 1029 citations.
Finally, IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques published a 2005 paper, by this author, which currently has a citation rate of more than 200.
