Research focus: the analysis and design of planar leaky-wave antennas, numerical techniques, ultra-wideband antennas, metamaterials and periodic structures, active and passive integrated circuits for microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies.
Additional interests include electromagnetic compatibility and signal integrity, radar systems, novel planar circuits using surface waves, and new methodologies for mutual coupling estimation and compensation in antennas.

Electromagnetic Surface-Wave Engineering
Surface waves were always looked upon as an adverse effect causing undesired coupling, parasitic radiation and significant power losses in planar structures. However, by clever surface-wave engineering, new and efficient devices can be made for many practical applications - all driven by electromagnetic surface waves.
