Arokiaswami Alphones of Nanyang Technological University

Abstract:
This seminar reviews the evolution of electromagnetics from the 18th century to modern sub-THz technologies, highlighting key milestones and emerging trends. The talk aims to motivate students to engage with the IEEE MTT-S community and prepare skilled manpower for future wireless technologies.

Date: December 19

Time: 14h00

Venue: E615 C7 Building, Hanoi University of Science and Technology

Speaker:

A Alphones received his B.Tech. from Madras Institute of Technology in 1982, M.Tech. from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur in 1984 and Ph.D. degree in Optically Controlled Millimeter wave Circuits from Kyoto Institute of Technology (Japan) in 1992. He was a JSPS visiting fellow from 1996-97 at Japan. During 1997-2001, he was with Centre for Wireless Communications, National University of Singapore involved in the teaching and research on optically controlled passive/active devices. Since 2001 he is with the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He has 40 years of research experience. He has published and presented over 350 technical papers in peer reviewed International Journals/ Conferences. His current interests are electro-magnetic analysis on planar RF circuits and integrated optics, microwave photonics, visible light communication and positioning, metamaterial based leaky wave antennas, THz transceiver for 6G Systems and wireless power transfer technologies. He was involved many IEEE flagship conferences held in Singapore and General Chair of APMC 2009, MWP 2011, TENCON 2016, APMC 2019, APMC 2024 and TENCON 2024. He was the chairman of IEEE Singapore section during 2015-2016, 2018, 2023 and a senior member of IEEE. He is Singapore representative of IEICE(Japan). He is also the panel member of IEEE Conference Application Review Committee and IEEE Conference Finance Committee. He is also R10 coordinator for IEEE MTT-S MGA member.
