IEEE Awards
The IEEE Electromagnetics Award which is a prestigious IEEE Technical Field Award for outstanding contributions to the theory and/or application of electromagnetics George V. Eleftheriades, Professor, University of Toronto, Canada, for his contributions to engineered surfaces and metasurfaces with application to antennas, cloaking, and sub-diffraction imaging.
MTT-S Awards
Microwave Career Award Recognizes a career of meritorious achievement and outstanding technical contribution by an individual in the field of microwave theory and techniques. James C. Lin, Professor Emeritus, University of Illinois at Chicago, USA, for a career of leadership, meritorious achievement, creativity and outstanding contributions in the field of microwave theory and technology.
Microwave Pioneer Award Recognizes an individual or a team having made outstanding pioneering technical contributions that advance microwave theory and technology. These contributions are to have been made at least 20 years prior to the year of the award. It is not a condition that nominees are the sole or original researcher or developer. Significant contribution of a specific nature is the key criterion. Dominic Deslandes, Professor, Ecole de Technologie Superieure, Montreal, Canada, and Ke Wu, Professor, Ecole Polytechnique, Montreal, Canada, for their pioneering contributions to the substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) technology.
Microwave Application Award Recognizes an individual or team of no more than five individuals for an outstanding application of microwave theory and techniques, which has been reduced to practice nominally 10 years before the award. Jianping Yao, Professor, University of Ottawa, Canada, for his outstanding contributions to UWB over Fiber technologies.
Distinguished Educator Award Recognizes a distinguished educator in the field of microwave engineering and science who best exemplifies the special human qualities of Fred Rosenbaum, who considered teaching a high calling and demonstrated his dedication to the Society through tireless service. Almudena Suarez, Professor, University of Cantabria, Spain, and to Fadhel Ghannouchi, Professor, University of Calgary, Canada, for their outstanding achievements as an educator, mentor, and role model of microwave engineers and engineering students.
Distinguished Service Award Recognizes an individual who has given outstanding service for the benefit and advancement of the MTT Society. Mohammad Madihian, President Mediwave, Plainsboro, New Jersey, USA, in recognition of his distinguished record of service to the MTT Society and the microwave profession over a sustained period of time.
N. Walter Cox Award Recognizes an individual who has given exemplary service to the Society in a spirit of selfless dedication and cooperation. Daniel Pasquet, Professor Emeritus, Ecole Nationale Superieure de l’Electronique et de ses Applications, Cergy, France.
Outstanding Young Engineer Award Recognizes an outstanding young MTT-S member who has distinguished him/herself through achievement(s), which may be technical (within the MTT-S Field of Interest), may be exemplary service to the MTT-S, or may be a combination of both. In the category “Industry”
