EM sensors ma ke use of metallic elements\, including split-ring resonators (SRRs) and c omplementary SRRs\, to both radiate or receive EM waves. Using EM sensors to monitor changes in a medium\, e.g. human body\, is based on interrogati on of a medium with EM waves that reveals valuable information about its p roperties. EM-based technologies enable compact\, low-profile\, yet highly sensitive sensors for cutting-edge sensors. In this talk\, a variety of m icrowave planar sensors will be presented that exhibit high sensitivity fo r material characterization\, focusing on high-performance sensors aided w ith active circuitry. Emerging technologies such as machine learning will be introduced that enhances the sensor robustness. Last\, the potential ca pabilities of the microwave sensors in microwave and mm-wave frequencies w ill be discussed to conclude the talk.\n\nSpeaker: Mohammad Abdolrazzaghi received the B.Sc. degree from the Iran University of Science and Technolo gy\, Tehran\, Iran\, in 2009\, and M.Sc. degree from the University of Alb erta\, Edmonton\, AB\, Canada\, in 2017\, all in electrical and computer e ngineering. He then became involved as a research assistant of Microwave a nd Millimeter Wave Lab (M2M) at the University of Alberta and Electromagne tics Lead at the Phase Advanced Sensors Corp. in Edmonton\, AB. He joined University of Toronto community in 2020 as a PhD student in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department. His research interest includes: Analog C ircuit Design\, RF Circuits and Microwave Active Sensors\, Machine learnin g\, Wireless Power Transfer\, and Phased Arrays. He was awarded Alberta In novates Technology Futures (AITF) Scholarship from University of Alberta ( 2015)\, got the first place in for CMC Microsystems’s National Research Council Industrial Collaboration Award in 2015\, and Ontario Graduate Scho larship (2021).\n\nToronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, Virtual: https://events.vt ools.ieee.org/m/291426 LOCATION:Toronto\, Ontario\, Canada\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.o rg/m/291426 ORGANIZER:parinaz.naseri@utoronto.ca SEQUENCE:6 SUMMARY: [AP-S TalK] "Advances in Microwave Planar Sensors Using Active Cir cuitry" by Mohammad Abdolrazzaghi URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/291426 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p style="background: white\;"><span style="f ont-size: 12.0pt\; color: #201f1e\; background: white\;">Please join us fo r an upcoming talk on <strong>Dec 03\, 4-5 pm (Eastern Time)</strong> by M ohammad Abdolrazzaghi titled "Advances in Microwave Planar Sensors Using A ctive Circuitry"\, as part of the 2020-2021 IEEE AP-S seminar series.</spa n></p>\n<p style="background: white\;"><strong><span style="font-size: 12. 0pt\; color: black\;">Abstract</span></strong><span style="font-size: 12.0 pt\; color: black\;">: Nowadays\, electromagnetism (EM) is being extensive ly investigated as a leading technology on noninvasive sensing.
