Background

Ping Jack Soh received the Bachelor and Master degrees in Electrical Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Johor, Malaysia, in 2002 and 2005, respectively. 

From 2002 to 2004, he was a Test Engineer working on new products’ test definition for manufacturing purposes. In 2005, he joined Motorola Technology Malaysia as a R&D Engineer. There, he worked on the characterization and testing of new two-way radio antennas and RF front-ends. In 2006, he joined the School of Computer and Communication Engineering, Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) as an Academic Staff. He is currently on study leave and working towards his Ph.D in the ESAT-TELEMIC Research Division, Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium. His research interests include planar antennas, flexible/textile antennas, on-body communication, metamaterials, passive microwave components and microwave measurements.

Jack was the recipient of the CST University Publication Award in 2011 and 2012, the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Doctoral Research Award in 2012, and the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Graduate Fellowship for Medical Applications in 2013.
