SPEAKER: A/Prof. Anja Skrivervik, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Lausanne, Switzerland

TIME/DATE: 4:00pm–5:00pm, 9 January 2019

VENUE: E4-04-05 (E-CUBE 1), Engineering Block E4, Faculty of Engineering, National University of Singapore

ABSTRACT:

The revolution in telecommunications triggered by the democratization of mobile phones was the starting for the renewed interest in electrically small antennas in the nineties. Since then, wireless communication has become ubiquitous, with new applications emerging each day. This has led to an exponentially increasing demand for miniaturized antennas, from small antennas for mobile phone to antennas for implanted biosensors. This contribution will review the evolution of electrically small antennas since the nineties, with special emphasis on antennas for implants and wearables. Design and measurement strategies will be presented, along new results on fundamental limitations for antennas radiating into lossy media.

Biography:

Prof. Anja Skrivervik obtained her electrical engineering degree from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne in 1986, and her PhD from the same institution in 1992, for which she received the Latsis award. After a stay at the University of Rennes as an invited Research Fellow and two years in the industry, she returned part time to EPFL as an Assistant Professor in 1996, and is now a Professeur Titulaire at this institution, where she is the head of the Microwave and Antenna Group. Her research activities include electrically small antennas, antennas in biological media, multi-frequency and ultra-wideband antennas, and numerical techniques for electromagnetics. She is author or co-author of more than 200 peer reviewed scientific publications. Her teaching activities include courses on microwaves and antennas, and she has course at Bachelor, Master and PhD levels. She was director of the EE section from 1996-2000.

Professor Anja Skrivervik is very active in European collaboration and European projects. She was the chairperson of the Swiss URSI until 2012, is a Board member of the European School on Antennas and is frequently requested to review research programs and centers in Europe. She was elected to the board of directors of the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP).
