Prof.ÌýKaruÌýEsselleÌýhas been elevated as a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for contributions to resonance-based antennas.
Prof.ÌýEsselleÌýgraduated with First ClassÌýHonoursÌýin Electronic and Telecommunication Engineering from the University ofÌýMoratuwaÌýin 1984, and joins a select group ofÌýUoMgraduates who have received this rareÌýhonour.
He received theÌýMAScÌýand PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Ottawa, Canada. He is currently Professor of Electronic Engineering, Macquarie University, Sydney, and was Associate Dean – Higher Degree Research (HDR) of the Division of Information and Communication Sciences.
Prof.ÌýEsselleÌýhas authored about 450 research publications and his papers have been cited about 3,300 times.
IEEE is the world’s largest professionalÌýorganisationÌýfor technology. IEEE Fellow is a distinction reserved for select IEEE members whose extraordinary accomplishments in any of the IEEE fields of interest are deemed fitting for this prestigious grade. Less than 0.1% of members are elevated to this highest grade of IEEE.
Professor Esselle’s elevation to IEEE Fellow grade recognises his extensive research contributions to resonance-based antennas, both high- and low-gain. Among them are patent-pending beam steering methods and extremely wideband planar resonant cavity antennas aka electromagnetic resonator antennas, ultra-wideband antennas and dielectric-resonator antennas.
