Piotr Kulik

Piotr Kulik is an Assistant Professor at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering within the College of Engineering and Computer Science. His research focuses on nanofabrication of thin-film materials, microsystems for sensing and communication, and multiphysics devices.

• Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering, Northeastern University (2020)

Dr. Kulik’s research bridges advanced materials synthesis with microwave and MEMS device design. His work on magnetodielectric composites and ferrite thin films enables next-generation RF components for wireless systems. Current projects explore spatiotemporal modulation techniques to achieve magnetic-free non-reciprocal devices, reducing size and complexity in communication hardware.

His recent publications emphasize broadband impedance tuning, miniaturized RF circulators, and zero-power wake-up receivers. These contributions leverage multiphysics modeling and nanofabrication to optimize microwave performance in magnetic-free topologies and composite materials.
