ABOUT THE EDITORS
DR. ZHI NING CHEN received his Ph.D. from the Institute of Communications
Engineering and his DoE from the University of Tsukuba. Since 1988, he
has worked at the Institute of Communications Engineering, Southeast
University, City University of Hong Kong, University of Tsukuba, and the
IBM T. J. Watson Research Center. He is currently Principal Scientist and
Department Head for RF & Optical at the Institute for Infocomm Research in
Singapore. He is concurrently holding guest/adjunct professor appointments
at Shanghai Jiao Tong University, Southeast University, Nanjing University,
Tongji University, and National University of Singapore. He is also technical
advisor at Compex Systems.
As a key member of numerous international organizations, Dr. Chen has
organized many events. He is the founder of the International Workshop on
Antenna Technology (iWAT). He has published over 260 papers as well as
authored and edited the following books: Broadband Planar Antennas: Design
and Applications (Wiley, 2007), Ultra Wideband Wireless Communication (Wiley,
2006), and Antennas for Portable Devices (Wiley, 2007). He also contributed
chapters to Ultra Wideband Antennas and Propagation for Communications,
Radar, and Imaging (Wiley, 2006) as well as Antenna Engineering Handbook,
Fourth Edition (McGraw-Hill, 2007). He holds 26 granted and filed patents with
15 licensed industry deals. He is the recipient of the CST University Publication
Award 2008, IEEE AP-S Honorable Mention Student Paper Contest 2008, IES
2
Prestigious Engineering Achievement Award 2006, I R Quarterly Best Paper
Award 2004, and IEEE iWAT 2005 Best Poster Award.
Dr. Chen is a Fellow of the IEEE, Inc. and an IEEE AP-S Distinguished
Lecturer (www1.i2r.a-star.edu.sg/~chenzn).
DR. KWAI-MAN LUK received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from The
University of Hong Kong. He is currently Head and Chair Professor of the
Electronic Engineering Department at City University of Hong Kong. His
recent research interests include design of patch, planar, and dielectric reso-
nator antennas; microwave and antenna measurements; and computational
electromagnetics. He is the author of two books, a contributing author to nine
research books, and the author of over 250 journal papers and 200 conference
papers. He has recently been awarded two U.S. patents and ten PRC patents on
the design of a wideband patch antenna with an L-shaped probe. He received
the Japan Microwave Prize at the 1994 Asia Pacific Microwave Conference held
in Chiba in December 1994 and the Best Paper Award at the 2008 International
Symposium on Antennas and Propagation held in Taipei in October 2008.
He was the Technical Program Chairperson of the 1997 Progress in
Electromagnetics Research Symposium (PIERS 1997), the General Vice-
Chairperson of the 1997 and 2008 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference, and the
General Chairman of 2006 IEEE Region Ten Conference. He is a deputy editor-
in-chief of the Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications.
Professor Luk is a Fellow of the IEEE, Inc.; a Fellow of the Chinese Institute
of Electronics, PRC; a Fellow of the Institution of Engineering and Technology,
UK; and a Fellow of the Electromagnetics Academy, U.S.
