Biography:

Joachim Oberhammer (Senior Member, IEEE) was born in Italy in 1976. He received the M.Sc.EE degree from the Graz University of Technology, Graz, Austria, in 2000, and the Ph.D. degree from the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden, in 2004.,He was a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2004, and Kyoto University, Kyoto, Japan, in 2008. Since 2005, he has been leading radio frequency/microwave/terahertz microelectro- mechanical systems research at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology. In 2010, he was an Associate Professor with the KTH Royal Institute of Technology, where he has been a Professor in microwave and terahertz (THz) microsystems since 2015. He was a Guest Researcher with Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2007, a Guest Researcher with the NASA-Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, CA, USA, in 2014, and a Guest Professor with the Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Madrid, Spain, in 2019. He has authored or coauthored more than 100 reviewed research articles and holds four patents.,Dr. Oberhammer served as a TPRC Member for the IEEE Transducers in 2009, 2015, and 2019, the IEEE International Microwave Symposiums from 2010 to 2018, the IEEE Micro Electromechanical Systems in 2011 and 2012, the IEEE Radio and Wireless Week in 2015 and 2016, and EuMCE in 2019. He has been a Steering Group Member of the IEEE MTT-S and AP-S Chapters Sweden since 2009. He was a Steering Group Member of the Young Academy of Sweden from 2014 to 2016.
