Miguel Navarro-Cía

Miguel Navarro-Cía (Senior Member, IEEE) received the M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in telecommunication engineering, and the MRes degree in introduction to research in communications from the Universidad Publica de Navarra, Spain, in 2006, 2010, and 2007, respectively.

From 2006 to 2010, he was a Predoctoral Researcher, FPI Fellowship recipient with Universidad Publica de Navarra, where he was also a Research and Teaching Assistant from 2010 to 2011. Between 2008 and 2011, he also held several Visiting Researcher positions with the Valencia Nanophotonics Technology Center, Spain, Imperial College London, U.K., and the University of Pennsylvania, USA. He was a Research Associate in 2011 and a Junior Research Fellow from 2012 to 2015 with Imperial College London. Between these two positions, he was a Research Associate with the University College London, London, U.K. He held Visiting Researcher positions with Imperial College London and University College London until 2022 and 2018, respectively. In December 2015, he joined University of Birmingham, U.K., where he is currently a Reader in TeraHertz Science and Engineering jointly with the School of Physics and Astronomy, and the School of Engineering, University of Birmingham, U.K. and where he leads the Metamaterials and Nanophotonics group. His current research interests include theory, technology and applications of (near-field) time-domain spectroscopy/microscopy/imaging, metamaterials, plasmonics, antennas, and frequency-selective surfaces at millimeter-wave, terahertz, and infrared.

He was the recipient of the Best Doctoral Thesis in Basic Principles and Technologies of Information and Communications, and Applications corresponding to the XXXI Edition of Awards “Telecommunication Engineers” 2010, the CST University Publication Award (twice) for the best international journal publication using CST Microwave Studio in 2012 and 2016, and the 2011 Junior Research Raj Mittra Travel Grant.
