Mariusz Malinowski graduated with distinction in electrical engineering from the Warsaw University of Technology in 1997, receiving an award for the best diploma thesis from the Warsaw Branch of the Association of Polish Electrical Engineers (SEP), the Dean of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and the Polish Section of IEEE. He received his PhD with honors in 2001 for his dissertation titled “Sensorless control strategies for three-phase PWM rectifiers”, which received the Siemens Award.
In 2012, he obtained a postdoctoral degree (habilitation) for a monographic series of publications entitled “Selected problems of modulation and control for two- and multilevel voltage source converters.” Since 2002, he has been affiliated with the Institute of Control and Industrial Electronics at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Warsaw University of Technology. Initially, he held the position of assistant professor; between 2013 and 2019, he served as university professor, and since 2019, he has been a full professor. From 2017 to 2020, he was Head of the Department of Industrial Electronics at the same institute.
He has participated in over 30 research and industrial projects as a principal investigator or main contributor. His implementations were recognized in the Polish Product of the Future competition in 2006 and 2015. He has collaborated with, among others, ABB Corporate Research Center, PSE Operator, Twerd, Lopi, TRUMPF Huettinger, and Danfoss.
He has served as a reviewer and member of evaluation committees for numerous PhD theses in Poland and abroad, including in Germany, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, Estonia, Denmark, Switzerland, India, and Australia. He has supervised six PhD students, five of whom received honors. One of the doctoral theses defended under his guidance won the best doctoral thesis award in a competition organized by ABB, and another doctoral thesis won the best doctoral thesis award in a competition organized by TRUMPF Huettinger. In 2016 and 2018, he received the Golden Chalk award from students in the category of Best Lecturer. Since 2019, he has been twice elected to the Council of Scientific Excellence (Poland). Since 2021, he has been a of the Division of Technical Sciences of the Polish Academy of Sciences.
