Two members of the team led by Christophe Caloz, Full Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and a member of the Poly-Grames Research Centre, have won three prestigious awards at the 2010 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference in Yokohama, Japan.

Attieh Shahvarpour, a PhD student in Professor Caloz's group, won the Conference's Best Paper Award for her paper A. Shahvarpour, A. Alvarez Melcon, and C. Caloz, "Anisotropic meta-substrate conical-beam leaky-wave antenna."

Dr. Toshiro Kodera, a post-doctoral fellow who was a member of Professor Caloz's group from 2008 to 2009 and is now a professor at Yamaguchi University in Japan, won the 2010 IEEE MTT-S Japan/Kansai Chapters Young Engineering Award as well as the Michiyuki Uenohara Memorial Award for his paper T. Kodera and C. Caloz, "Uniform ferrite-loaded open waveguide structure with CRLH response and its application to a novel backfire-to-endfire leaky-wave antenna," IEEE Trans. Microwave Theory Tech., Vol. 57, No. 4, pp. 784-795, April 2009.

Ms. Shahvarpour's article was published in the conference proceedings (A. Shahvarpour, A. Alvarez Melcon, and C. Caloz, "Anisotropic meta-substrate conical-beam leaky-wave antenna," in Proc. Asia-Pacific Microwave Conf. (APMC), Yokohama, Japan, Dec. 2010, pp. 299-302) and will the subject of a lengthy transaction paper in the months to come.

Dr. Kodera continues to collaborate intensively with Professor Caloz's group, including on the writing of the book Magnetic Radiative Structures Inspired by Metamaterial Concepts, due for publication by Wiley before the end of 2011.
