Zdzislaw Trzaska received the Ph.D.  and D.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering both from the  Warsaw University of Technology, Warsaw, Poland, in 1970 and 1989, respectively.              In 1975, he was a Visiting Professor with the Direction des Etudes et Recherches, EDF, Paris, France. In 1994, he was a Full Professor. He has published numerous papers on electric power systems and grids, stability of   power systems, distributed parameter systems and partial differential-algebraic models, analysis and design of electric circuits, and assessment via power functional. He is the author of seven books published by Polish Scientific Publisher, Publishing Office of the Warsaw University of Technology and the publishing Office of the HSE&M. His current research interests include analysis and synthesis of dynamical systems, electromagnetic and thermal fields, nanotechnology, electrochemical spectroscopy. Chaotic oscillations, DAE systems and mixed mode oscillations focus his special attention. He developed the foundations of the hitherto unsolved energy determination of components operating in the periodic non-sinusoidal state. Recently he has published in Springer-Verlag a book “Mixed Mode Oscillations (MMOs)”.
