**Mateusz Pasternak**

Prof. Dr. Mateusz Pasternak received his Master of Science degree in Electronics from the Department of Electronics of the Military University of Technology (MUT) in 1989. After that, he joined the Acoustoelectronic Faculty at the Institute of Applied Physics MUT as a candidate for a doctor's degree. Initially, he started his research activity from the comprehensive study of surface acoustic wave (SAW) propagation and scattering properties that was completed with the design and manufacture of a variety of advanced SAW devices such as special high-frequency SAW filters and convolvers for radar applications. He received his Ph. D. degree in July 1995. Since 2007, his field of interest has been extended with ultrawideband radars technology, especially ground-penetrating radars (GPR). In the frame of these efforts, four GPR systems were designed and manufactured. Simultaneously, he continued the research on SAW device theory and applications focusing on SAW chemical sensors. As a result of this work, the next-generation sensor series were developed. In 2022, became a Professor. Currently, he is employed in the Institute of Radioelectronics, MUT. He has published about 100 scientific papers and 4 books.
