A/Prof. Konstanty Bialkowski’s research interests lie in the area of wireless sensing, passive radar, communication systems, and signal processing, and specifically in the use of multiple antennas or sensors for communication, radar and imaging systems. In these fields, a software-defined-radio (SDR) is an extremely useful tool, allowing practical experimentation in specific areas like wireless sensing, biological applications, high reliability or high data rate communications and radio-frequency identification.
Some key contributions have been in the development of architectures to collect information from various sensors including RF, vibration and acoustic signals; as well as sensor algorithms for passive radar, where using multiple receivers is capable of resolving target location in 3D space, rather than just the range and Doppler; and showing that SDRs can be used to develop low cost biomedical imaging devices.

Mitch is an Advance Queensland Industry Research Fellow in the UQ Composites group within the Centre for Advanced Materials Processing and Manufacturing (AMPAM).
Mitch's research focuses on creating structures that have electromagnetically interesting properties, such as integrated antenna functionality, transparency to radiofrequency (RF) waves or shielding from electromagnetic interference. His Fellowship focuses on developing novel high-temperature antennas for hypersonic flight, in partnership with Hypersonix Launch Systems and DMTC Limited.
Mitch has interest in a wide range of material research activities, including:
multifunctional composite materials,
non-destructive evaluation,
novel material systems,
high-temperature and hypersonic applications,
novel RF/antenna applications for Defence and space.
He received his PhD from UQ in 2018 for his work on the detection of laminar damage in composite laminates using nonlinear ultrasonic techniques. Recently, he has worked extensively on industry technology development and innovation projects focused around multifunctional composite materials and conformal, load-bearing antenna structures.
