Sam Lemey

Sam Lemey (Member, IEEE) received the M.Sc. degree in electronic engineering from Howest, University College West Flanders, Kortrijk, Belgium, in 2012, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium, in 2016. He is currently a Professor with the Department of Information Technology (INTEC), Ghent University/imec. From January to March 2018, he was a Visiting Scientist with the Terahertz Photonics Group, Institute of Electronics, Microelectronics and Nanotechnology (IEMN), University Lille Nord de France, Lille, France. His research interests include antenna systems for wearable applications, active antenna design for the Internet of Things and (beyond) 5G applications, (optoelectronic) millimeter-wave multiantenna systems, impulse-radio ultrawideband antenna systems for joint communication and sensing, and full-wave/circuit co-optimization frameworks to realize (optoelectronic) active (multi-)antenna systems. Dr. Lemey received the URSI Young Scientist Award at the 2020 URSI General Assembly and was awarded the Best Paper Award at the 2016 IEEE MTT-S Topical Conference on Wireless Sensors and Sensor Networks. He was also a co-recipient of the 2015 Best Paper Award at the 22nd IEEE Symposium on Communications and Vehicular Technology in the Benelux and of the 2019 ECOC Best Demo Award.
