Winning Best Student Paper Award (First Prize) at IEEE MTT-S International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic and Multiphysics Modeling and Optimization for RF, Microwave, and Terahertz Applications (NEMO 2025)

Mr HUANG Ruilin (PhD) has won the Best Student Paper Award (First Prize) at IEEE MTT-S International Conference on Numerical Electromagnetic and Multiphysics Modeling and Optimization for RF, Microwave, and Terahertz Applications (NEMO2025). The award-winning paper, supervised by Prof GUO Yongxin (Chair Professor of EE), is titled “A Synthesis Method for Miniaturized Multi-Band Antenna Using Via Connected Dual-Pixelated-Surface Units”. The paper proposes a novel pixel unit for internal-multi-port-based pixel antennas, introducing a new connection topology that significantly enhances design flexibility and miniaturization potential. The paper’s co-authors include Dr WANG Han, a Postdoctoral Fellow, and a collaborator from Tianjin University.

The conference, organized by the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society (MTT-S), is an annual event that focuses on electromagnetic- and multiphysics-based computer-aided design (EM-CAD). This year, the conference accepted 405 papers, with 126 student papers competing for the Best Student Paper Awards.
