Dr. Vinay Kumar Killamsetty, a postdoctoral fellow in our group, has been awarded the Young Scientist Best Paper Award in the International Conference on Electromagnetics in Advanced Applications (ICEAA 2019) and IEEE-APS Topical Conference on Antennas and Propagation in Wireless Communications (APWC 2019) joint conference, held in Granada, Spain, on September.

The prize was awarded to him for his paper “Exploiting the properties of metagratings for designing rectangular waveguide mode converters”.

Congratulations, Vinay!

Liran Biniashvili, M.Sc. student in the group, has been selected as a finalist in the prestigious Student Paper Competition of the 2019 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting (APS/URSI 2019), held in Atlanta, GA, on July. His paper, entitled “Metagrating-Inspired Approach for Suppressing Reflections in H-Plane Waveguide Bends”, was evaluated to be in the top 5% of all the papers submitted to the competition (~200), and was presented in a dedicated poster session.

Congratulations, Liran!

Shahar Levi and Yaniv Kerzhner won the 2nd place in the Kasher Undergraduate Student Project Contest in the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Technion, for the research conducted in our group in collaboration with the VLSI Laboratory on “Rigorous Analytical Model for Metasurface Microscopic Design with Interlayer Coupling“.

On the same occasion, Liran Biniashvili has received an Honorable Mention for his research project, conducted in our group in collaboration with Communication Laboratory, on “Suppressing Reflections in Waveguide Bends Using Metagrating-Inspired Techniques”.

Congratulations to Shahar, Yaniv, and Liran for the successful projects and the awards!

 

Yaniv and Liran continue their research work as M. Sc. students in our group.

Dr. Vinay Kumar Killamsetty was awarded the PBC Postdoctoral Fellowship for the year 2019.

Congratulations Vinay!

Amit Shaham has recently joined the group as a M.Sc. Student.

Welcome Amit! 🙂

Liran Biniashvili has joined our group as a Master’s student 🙂
