In 1970 he joined the research and teaching staff of the Dept. of Electron Physics III at Chalmers University of Technology, CTH, Gothenburg, Sweden, where he received the PhD degree in 1974 and the Assistant Professor competence in 1981. In 1983 he joined ASEA (later ABB), Västerås, Sweden where he worked as semiconductor specialist until 1991 with development of power devices for motor drive applications. He joined the group of Power Semiconductor Devices at the Swedish Institute of Microelectronics, Kista, in 1991 where he worked with different BiMOS and bipolar power device concepts for motor drive and HVDC applications. Since 1994 he is with the Power Electronics group at RISE working with the design, simulation and electrical evaluation of SiC and GaN devices. The main focus of his activities has been the physics of operation, design, technology, reliability and applications of power semiconductor and MOS devices. He has been Adjoint Professor at dept. of Solid State Physics at KTH, Electrum, Kista, (2000 - 2003) and was appointed Affiliated professor at KTH School of Engineering Sciences in 2012. He is a co-organizer of ECS Symp. GaN and SiC Power Technologies (since 2012) and a member of International Advisory Committee to New National Program (2017-2023) on WBG semiconductors in Busan City, South Korea. Dr. Bakowski is a lead organizer of the International Workshop on Applications of WBG Power Electronics, SCAPE (ISICPEAW) and a Senior Expert and manager of WBG Power Center at RISE.
