Biography

Ladislau Matekovits was born in Arad (Romania), on November 19, 1967. He received the degree in electronic engineering from Institutul Politehnic din Bucuresti, Bucuresti, Romania and Ph.D. (Dottorato di Ricerca) degree in electronic engineering form Politecnico di Torino, Torino, Italy in 1992 and 1997 respectively. Since 1995 he is with the same Electronics Department of the Politecnico di Torino, first as a post-doctoral fellow and later as a Research Assistant. He joined the same Department as Assistant Professor in 2001 and was appointed as Senior Assistant Professor in 2005. In late 2005 Ladislau Matekovits was Visiting Scientist at the Antennas and Scattering Department of the FGAN-FHR, Wachtberg, Germany. Since 1st of July 2009 Dr. Matekovits is a Marie Curie Fellow at the Macquarie University, Sydney, NSW, Australia. His main research activities concern numerical analysis of printed antennas and in particular development of new, numerically efficient full-wave techniques to analyze large arrays, metamaterials and optimization techniques. Dr. Matekovits is the recipient of a Raj Mittra Travel Grant (RMTG) - Student Researcher Award for participating to the 1997 IEEE AP-S International Symposium in Montreal, Canada, of a 1998 URSI Young Scientist Award (Thessaloniki, Greece), of the Barzilai Award 1998 (young scientist award, granted every two years by the Italian National Electromagnetic Group), of a 10th MICROCOLL Young Scientist Award 1999 (Budapest, Hungary), and of the Best AP2000 Oral Paper on Antennas, ESA-EUREL Millenium Conference on Antennas & Propagation (Davos, Switzerland). Dr. Matekovits is member of several conference program committees. He was Assistant Chairman of the European Microwave Conference 2002 (Milan, Italy) Technical Programme Committee and of the European Microwave Week 2002 Local Committee and Publication Chairman of the same Conferences. He serves as a reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters, PIER Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications (PIER/JEMWA) and International Journal of Antennas and Propagation (IJAP).
