Christophe Caloz (born May 8, 1969, Sierre, Switzerland) is a researcher and professor of electrical engineering and physics at École Polytechnique de Montréal. He graduated from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he received a Diploma of electrical engineering in telecommunications in 1995 and a Ph.D in electromagnetics (photonic crystals) in 2000. From 2001 to 2004, he was a Postdoctoral Research Engineer at the Microwave Electronics Laboratory of University of California at Los Angeles, before joining the École Polytechnique de Montréal as the Canada Research Chair in radio-frequency metamaterials.
Contents
Research
Caloz has done pioneering contributions to the field of electromagnetic metamaterials[1] and smart antennas[2] over the past decade.[3][4] His most recent advances in these areas include magnetless non-reciprocal metamaterials[5] and electronically steered leaky-wave antennas for enhanced Wifi MIMO systems. In the past few years, he discovered giant Faraday rotation in graphene[6] and subsequently demonstrated novel microwave and terahertz devices. Moreover, he introduced the paradigm of Radio Analog Signal Processing (R-ASP),[7] based novel dispersive delay structures that he called "phasers", which bear great promise to next-generation wireless communication systems.
Publications
Caloz has authored and co-authored over 500 technical conference, letter and journal papers, 13 books and book chapters (including the first textbook on metamaterials), and he holds several patents. His work has generated over 13,000 citations.
Professional activities
Caloz is a Distinguished Lecturer and AdCom Member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Member of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Technical Committees MTT-15 (Microwave Field Theory) and MTT-25 (RF Nanotechnology), a Speaker of the MTT-15 Speaker Bureau, the Chair of the Commission D (Electronics and Photonics) of the Canadian Union de Radio Science Internationale (URSI) and an MTT-S representative at the IEEE Nanotechnology Council (NTC).
Honors and awards
Caloz received several awards, including the UCLA Chancellor’s Award for Post-doctoral Research in 2004, the MTT-S Outstanding Young Engineer Award in 2007, the E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship in 2013, and many best paper awards with his students. He has been an IEEE Fellow since 2010. He is also in Thomson Reuters' list of Highly Cited Researchers [1], which is composed of the 3,200 most influential scientists of the world in all disciplines.
