Marco Antoniades

Associate Professor

Marco A. Antoniades received the B.A.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Waterloo, ON, Canada, in 2001, and the M.A.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Toronto, ON, Canada, in 2003 and 2009, respectively. He is the Director of the Microwaves & Antennas Laboratory, and an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Biomedical Engineering at Toronto Metropolitan University.

Dr. Antoniades is a Senior Member of the IEEE, a member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S), the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S), the European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP), and the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES), and is a registered professional engineer (P.Eng.) in the province of Ontario.

He is an active member of the microwaves and antennas communities, serving as an Associate Editor of IET Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation (MAP), IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWPL), and IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (T-AP). He also serves regularly on the Steering Committee and Technical Program Committee of the IEEE AP-S/URSI International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation, and the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP). He is a member of the Education Committee for the IEEE AP-S Society, a member of the IEEE SIGHT Special Interest Group on Humanitarian Technology, and is the treasurer of the Electromagnetics & Radiation Chapter of the IEEE Toronto Section.
