Position

Background

Guy A. E. VANDENBOSCH received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium, in 1985 and 1991, respectively. From 1991 to 1993, he held a postdoctoral research position at the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven. Since 1993, he has been a Lecturer, and since 2005, a Full Professor at the same university. Guy Vandenbosch has teached or teaches courses on “Electromagnetic Waves”, “Antennas”, “Electromagnetic Compatibility”, “Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Electrical Energy”, and ”Digital Steer- and Measuring Techniques in Physics”. His research interests are in the area of electromagnetic theory, computational electromagnetics, planar antennas and circuits, nano-electromagnetics, EM radiation, EMC, and bio-electromagnetics. His work has been published in ca. 150 papers in international journals and has been presented in ca. 250 papers at international conferences. 


Research

The research of the EM theory and antenna group is organized around several strategic research lines:

  1. Electromagnetic Theory,
  2. Computational Electromagnetics,
  3. Nano-electromagnetics and plasmonics,
  4. Antenna design,
  5. Antenna and radiation measurements,
  6. Bio-electromagnetics.

  • The activities on Electromagnetic Theory concern mainly the search for new theoretical knowledge about the behavior of electromagnetic fields. An example is the set of new expressions derived for the stored energies in these fields, both in frequency and time domain. They were later applied to derive now theoretical boundaries in the area of small antennas, a very hot topic in the antenna research community.
  • The activities on computational electromagnetics concern the further development of the in-house developed Method of Moments solver MAGMAS. This solver can be considered a CAD framework to analyze and design a various range of new radiating planar and quasi-planar topologies and is an essential asset in many projects. Nowadays, this activity is a core competence that forms the foundation of a close cooperation with the group of Prof. V. Moshchalkov of the physics department, which initiated the activity on nano-electromagnetics and plasmonics.
  • The activities on antenna design nowadays mainly concern
    1. the development of antennas in the 60 GHz range, in very close cooperation with IMEC,
    2. base-band electronically beam steered antennas, both analogue and digital,
    3. antennas for energy: energy scavenging and nuclear fusion antennas,
    4. textile based antennas for on-body wireless networks,
    5. plasmonic antennas and scatterers.

    The MAGMAS framework is actively used in these design activities.

    The activities on antenna and radiation measurements concern mainly measurement to support the antenna design activities, and antenna measurement service to Belgian industry, and the measurement of radiation in the field, for example GSM radiation.

    The activities on bio-electromagnetics concern the follow-up of in vitro, in vivo, and epidemiological research on the effect of radations on biological tissues. Recently, also activities have been started up in cooperation with the medical faculties to perform in-house in vitro research.
