Academic career

Morawska holds an MSc (1976) and PhD (1982) from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland. Following graduation she moved to Canada where she worked as a post-doctoral fellow first at McMaster University and then at the University of Toronto. She migrated to Queensland, Australia to take up an appointment as associate professor at Queensland University of Technology. She was promoted to full professor and became director of the International Laboratory for Air Quality and Health at QUT in 2003.[1]

Morawska is a consultant to the World Health Organization,[2] trustee of the International Society for Indoor Air Quality and member of both the Clean Air Society of Australia and New Zealand and the American Association for Aerosol Research.[1] She is associate editor of Science of the Total Environment journal[3] and an international committee member of the Aerosol Science Researching Center at the National Sun Yat-sen University.[4]

In May 2020 Morawska was elected Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science.[5]

COVID-19 research

Since 2020 Morawska has been collaborating with researchers in China and worldwide on how COVID-19 is transmitted,[6] including in hospitals,[7] on public transport[8] and through singing.[9]
