management of technologies.
Mazur has worked on advanced technology throughout her career to strengthen

She started at Ericsson Research in 1995, and has since held many management
positions in the group; among other things, she has served as expert and head of
a research unit responsible for radio network research.
Mazur will now be a member of Group Function Technology's leadership team,
headed by Ericsson CTO Ulf Ewaldsson, and will be based in Stockholm, Sweden.
Ewaldsson says: "Sara Mazur has worked very closely with the development of the
telecommunications industry. It is because of people like her that our company
is a technology leader. She will bring her vast experience to lead our research
function to realize technologies for the benefit of people, business and
society."
Mazur graduated with a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the KTH
Royal Institute of Technology in Sweden, where she is an Associate Professor in
fusion plasma physics.
She says: "I have always been interested in, and curious about, technology. I am
a researcher at heart; 69 of my inventions have been patented, and I am
extremely happy to dedicate my time to working with such skilled people at
Ericsson Research.
"Ericsson has the industry-leading research organization. It is a great honor to
join this team and lead its continuous success."
Mazur has written several articles in international physics journals, as well as
papers on international conferences. She is the co-author of a book on adaptive
