Winning Student Paper Award at the 5th Marina Forum on Metantennas and Antenna Systems

Mr Bo Xue (PhD student), supervised by Prof Alex Wong, won the Student Paper Award – First Prize at the 5th Marina Forum on Metantennas and Antenna Systems. The winning paper is titled “Achieving Broadband Near-Field Directionality with a 3D Active Janus Antenna” and is published on Laser & Photonics Reviews (Open Access) in September 2024.

The Marina Forum, organized by IEEE Singapore RFID Chapter, is an international conference held annually in Singapore. It covers a wide range of topics related to metamaterials, metasurfaces, metantenna technologies, machine learning enabled methods for metamaterials and metantennas, reconfigurable antennas, collocated multiple antennas, MIMO and array antennas, and relevant applications. The Student Paper Contest, a marque event of the Forum, featured papers published in 2021-2024 on antennas and electromagnetics-related disciplines, first-authored by PhD students.
