Stepan Lucyszyn PhD, DSc, FIEE, FInstP, FEMA, is currently a Reader (Associate Professor) in Millimetre-wave Electronics at Imperial College London. After working in industry, as a satellite systems engineer for maritime and military communications, he spent the first 12 years of his research career working on microwave and millimetre-wave RFIC/MMICs. In 1999, he was a Tan Chin Tuan Exchange Fellow at the Nanyang Technological University (Singapore). He co-edited a seminal book on RFIC/MMICs, published by the IEE in 2001. This book was translated into Chinese in 2007. For his contributions to RFIC/MMICs, he was made an Adjunct Professor at UESTC (Chengdu, China) in 2008.
Since 2001, Dr Lucyszyn has worked on RF MEMS and in 2002 was a Guest Researcher within the MEMS laboratory of the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (Tsukuba, Japan). In 2004, he published a review paper on RF MEMS technology, which won an IEE Premium Award in 2005. Between 2004 and 2007, he represented Imperial College within the European Union’s Framework VI Network of Excellence on Advanced MEMS for RF and Millimeter Wave Communications (AMICOM). With contributing chapters from AMICOM, he edited a book entitled Advanced RF MEMS, published by Cambridge University Press in 2010. For his contributions to RF MEMS, he was made a Guest Professor at Tsinghua University (Beijing, China) in 2008.
For over 15 years, Dr Lucyszyn has been working on millimetre-wave electronics and, since 2004, investigating the behaviour of materials and passive structures operating at THz frequencies. In 2010, he was awarded the DSc degree (higher doctorate) of Imperial College for his contributions to Millimetre-wave and Terahertz Electronics. From Oct. 2010 to Sep. 2011, Dr Lucyszyn was on sabbatical at the Photon Science Centre of the University of Tokyo (Japan), within the Gonokami Laboratory (Department of Physics).
Dr Lucyszyn has (co-)authored approximately 130 papers and 11 book chapters in applied physics and electronic engineering, and delivered many invited presentations at international conferences. In addition, he has served as a member of TPCs and prize committees for various international conferences. Over the past few years Dr Lucyszyn has reviewed numerous international research grant proposals and sat on European panels for the funding of research projects. From Jan. 2002 to Dec. 2005 he was Editor-in-Chief of the Taylor and Francis International Journal of Electronics and from Nov. 2005 to Oct. 2009 an Associate Editor for the IEEE/ASME Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems. He is an elected member of the EuMA General Assembly, representing Group 4 (UK, Ireland, Gibraltar, Malta). In 2011, Dr Lucyszyn was the Chairman of the 41st European Microwave Conference, held in Manchester (UK). In 2005, he was elected Fellow of the Institution of Electrical Engineers (UK) and Fellow of the Institute of Physics (UK), and in 2008 was invited as a Fellow of the Electromagnetics Academy (USA). In 2009 he was appointed an IEEE Distinguished Microwave Lecturer for 2010-2012.
