Biography
Yuanxun Ethan Wang (Fellow, IEEE) received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China, in 1993, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA, in 1996 and 1999, respectively. In November 2002, he became an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of California at Los Angeles, Los Angeles, CA, USA, where he is currently a Full Professor, and also the Director of the Digital Microwave Laboratory and the Center for High Frequency Electronics. He has authored more than 200 journal and conference articles. His research focuses on microwave systems. His expertise ranges from system to devices. His researches blend digital technologies and concepts into RF design, which often leads to novel devices with performances beyond the conventional bound.,Prof. Wang was the co-recipient of the First Place Best Student Paper in the 2017 International Microwave Symposium and Best Student Paper Award in the 2017 GOMAC Tech Symposium. He was an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation.
