Event date: 
Fri, 06/07/2013 - 3:00pm to 4:00pm

Two talks have been scheduled for tomorrow's seminar. The first talk will be delivered by a guest speaker, Adam Monsalve from 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Adam will present his work on the methods of delivering energy to surface-conjugated biomacromolecules via alternating magnetic fields to control bioactivity.

In the second talk, Pitfee Jao will give a follow-up discussion on the use of the IMG wiki from 11:30 AM to 12:00 PM. All are encouraged to attend. The talks will be followed by the IMG BBQ at 12 noon.

Cheolbok Kim Receives IEEE AP-S Doctoral Research Award

Submitted by PitFee Jao on Mon, 04/22/2013 - 3:06pm

Congratulations to Cheolbok Kim on receiving the 2013 IEEE Antenna and Propagation Society (AP-S) Doctoral Research Award! The IEEE AP-S awards up to ten PhD fellowships each year to encourage students to pursue a career in the area of Antenna and Electromagnetics. The awards are intended to support students involved in project work directed by a faculty member at their institution who is a member of the IEEE AP-S. The title of his research is: "Low Loss and High Gain Terahertz Antenna Systems Using Micromachined Air-lifted 3D Structures and Metamaterials" The award selection is based on creativity and quality of the proposed project, discussion of the technical interests and skills of the student as well as the recommendation letter.
