Dalibor Biolek

Discovering is like the never-ending process of finding solutions to puzzles, with intuition used as a white stick and endurance as the driving force. Endurance is the daughter of curiosity, with both of them being born in the heart.

Short Biography

Dalibor Biolek received the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic, in 1983, and the PhD. degree in Electronics from the Military Academy Brno, Czech Republic, in 1989, focusing on algorithms of the symbolic and numerical computer analyses of electronic circuits with a view to the linear continuous-time and switched-capacitor filter.

He is currently with the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Defence Brno (UDB), and with the Department of Microelectronics, Brno University of Technology (BUT), Czech Republic. At present, he is a full professor but BUT and UDB in the field of Theoretical Electrical Engineering.

Throughout his career, Professor Biolek has contributed significantly to the development of SPICE models for memristive devices and has introduced theoretical concepts such as the Homothety Theorem and the Storeyed Structure of Higher-Order Elements. He is also known for proposing the Current Differencing Transconductance Amplifier (CDTA), a widely utilized circuit principle.
