In the 2019 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation, and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting held during 7 - 12 July 2019 at Atlanta, Georgia, U.S.A., our faculty members, PhD student and graduates were presented with the most significant international awards and certificates for their outstanding achievements and contributions to the field of antennas and propagation.
- Prof C H Chan – 2019 IEEE AP-S Harrington-Mittra Computational Electromagnetics Award, an international award to recognize the past technical accomplishments and future potential of an outstanding contributor to the area of Computational Electromagnetics. The citation for this award is “For fundamental contributions to fast solutions of integral equations using FFT with applications to scattering, antennas and interconnect structures in homogeneous and layered medium”. More can be found at CityU NewsCentre and CityU Weixin News.
- Mr Chen Ding, supervised by Prof K M Luk – 2019 First Prize Student Paper Award for the paper entitled "Wideband Omnidirectional Circularly Polarized Antenna for Millimeter-Wave Applications Using Printed Artificial Anisotropic Polarizer".
- Dr Steve Wong – Outstanding Reviewer of IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation.
- CityU Team from SKLTMW, Dr K K So (PhD graduate 2005), Dr K F Chan (PhD graduate 2007), Dr Keeson Shum (PhD graduate 2007) and Dr K X Wang (PhD graduate 2019), leading the IEEE AP and MTT Hong Kong Joint Chapter - IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Outstanding Chapter Awards (3rd place).
- Dr Wei Lin, PhD graduate 2016 supervised by Dr Steve Wong – Raj Mittra Travel Grant Award. The selection is based upon the candidate's potential or demonstrated aptitude for research.
Many EE alumni participated in the conference including Dr Bisharat Diaaaldin J M, a PhD graduate in 2019 and now a Postdoctoral Scholar at University of California San Diego, was there to receive the IEEE AP-S John Kraus Antenna Award (the highest award in the antenna field globally) on behalf of the awardee, Professor Daniel Sievenpiper, his postdoctoral supervisor.
Founded in 1949, the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society is an international and highly recognized organization active in over 40 countries. It is wonderful that our EE faculty, students and graduates were given the highest honour and extensive recognitions by this prestigious, leading international society. Please join me to congratulate all of them being so strong and distinguished in the named area!
