Bajorek (Chris) has been a major contributor and a leader in the prototyping, development, manufacturing and application of magnetoresistive recording (MR) heads in the data storage industry^[1]. At IBM, he was an integral part of the team that pioneered MR heads for consumer-transaction readers, tape drives and disk drives. He also led IBM’s Advanced Packaging Technology Laboratory and Magnetic Recording Institute^[2].

In 1990, Bajorek became an IEEE Fellow^[3] "For leadership in the development and manufacture of magnetic data storage and high-speed computer switching devices". Bajorek has contributed to more than 20 patents and 50 publications in the fields of semiconductors, electronic packaging and data recording^[1]. He also has served as director of the International Disk Drive Equipment & Materials Association^[4]. Dr. Bajorek was executive vice president of Advanced Technology of Komag, Inc.^[5], San Jose, California.

In 2002, Bajorek received the Reynold B. Johnson Award in 2002^[6] as a "major contributor and a leader in the prototyping, development, manufacturing and application of magnetoresistive recording heads in the data storage industry".
