Aperture Antennas for Millimeter and Sub-Millimeter Wave Applications

Association in 2004,and the 2nd Award at the national contest of the Samsung Corporation in 2005. In 2009, he was the recipient of a Young Scientist Award and the Medal "For the contribution to development of Ukraine" from the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.

Ronan Sauleau graduated in electrical engineering and radio communications from the Institut National des Sciences Appliquées, Rennes, France, in 1995. He received the Agrégation degree from the Ecole Normale Supérieure de Cachan, France, in 1996, and the Doctoral degree in signal processing and telecommunications and the "Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches" degree from the University of Rennes 1, France, in 1999 and 2005, respectively.

He was an Assistant Professor and Associate Professor at the University of Rennes 1, between September 2000 and November 2005, and between December 2005 and October 2009, respectively, in electrical engineering. He has been appointed as a full Professor in the same University since November 2009. His current research fields are numerical modeling (mainly FDTD), millimeter-wave printed and reconfigurable (MEMS) antennas, substrate integrated waveguide antennas, lens-based focusing devices, periodic and non-periodic structures (electromagnetic bandgap materials, metamaterials, reflectarrays, and transmitarrays) and biological effects of millimeter waves. He has been involved in more than 30 research projects at the national and European levels and has co-supervised 14 post-doctoral fellows, 33 PhD students and 45 master students.

>He has filed 12 patents and is the author or co-author of more than 185 journal papers and 400 publications at international conferences and workshops. He has shared the responsibility of the research activities on antennas at IETR in 2010 and 2011. He is now co-responsible for the research Department 'Antenna and Microwave Devices' at IETR and is deputy director of IETR. Prof. Sauleau received the 2004 ISAP Conference Young Researcher Scientist Fellowship (Japan) and the first Young Researcher Prize in Brittany, France, in 2001 for his research work on gain-enhanced Fabry-Perot antennas. In September 2007, he was promoted to Junior member of the "Institut Universitaire de France". He was awarded the Bronze medal by CNRS in 2008. He was the co-recipient of several international conference awards with some of his students (Int. Sch. of BioEM 2005, BEMS'2006, MRRS'2008, E-MRS'2011, BEMS'2011, IMS'2012, Antem'2012, BioEM'2015). He served as a guest editor for the IEEE Antennas Propogat. Special Issue on "Antennas and Propagation at mm and sub mm waves".

He is now co-responsible for the research Department 'Antenna and Microwave Devices' (~ 120 pers.) at IETR and is deputy director of IETR (~ 370 pers.). He serves as a national delegate for COST VISTA and EurAAP, and is a member of the board of directors of EurAAP since 2013.
