The alumni of the Polytechnic University of Cartagena (UPCT) Juan Sebastian Gomez-Diaz will be honored at the upcoming international conference on wave propagation and antennas for their research achievements in the field of electromagnetism.
Sebastian will receive the award in July during the celebration in Vancouver (Canada) of '2015 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and North American Radio Science Meeting', the most important worldwide related antennas and propagation of electromagnetic waves Congress.
The former student UPCT native of Albacete, is doing a postdoc in the research group on metamaterials and plasmon of the University of Texas at Austin (USA), where he studied under the direction of Professor Andrea Alu in the field of nanotechnology and photonics "how to compress and manipulate light electrically controlling their spread mono-atomic surfaces to potentially reduce the size of many of today's technological devices and create new devices in fields as varied such as biotechnology, sensor networks, and space communications, among others, "he explains.
As a student of Telecommunications Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Cartagena Juan Sebastian was extraordinary prize race aim and doctoral award to ICT.
His doctoral research on electromagnetism was UPCT national award for the best thesis.
After research stays in Canada and Germany, the alumnus UPCT won a scholarship Marie Curie to investigate the Polytechnic of Lausanne (Switzerland) before being signed by the American university.
Juan Sebastian continues to work with the UPCT, supervising a doctoral thesis in collaboration with Professor Alvarez-Melcón, director of the research group GEAT, whose doctoral research will make a stay in Austin.
The collaboration concerns graphene research lines, filters, and dynamic control of plasmons.
"The competition for the award for postdoctoral researcher was exceptionally strong this year.
We had many very qualified applicants, "said Chi H. Chan, chairman of the selection committee of the congress.
"It is an honor to receive this award and to present to the scientific community our latest developments in the field of electromagnetism and nanophotonics," says the researcher awarded.
