wearable devices and textile antennas and microwave chiral metasurface. Ping Jack Soh (S'10 M'14 SM'15) was born in Sabah, Malaysia. He received the Bachelor and Master degrees in Electrical Engineering (Telecommunication) from Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) in 2002 and 2006, respectively, and the Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering from KU Leuven, Belgium in 2013. He is currently a Senior Lecturer at the School of Computer and Communication Engineering (SCCE), Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) and the Deputy Dean of the university's Research Management and Innovation Center (RMIC). From 2002 to 2004, he was a Test Engineer in Venture Corp., Johor Bahru, Malaysia, working on new products’ test solutions for manufacturing purposes, both hardware and software. In 2005, he joined Motorola Solutions, Penang, Malaysia as an R&D Engineer for Electrical Design. There, he worked on the characterization and testing of new two-way radios’ antennas and RF front-ends. From 2006, he joined SCCE-UniMAP as a Lecturer, and was also the Deputy Director of the Centre for Industrial Collaboration (CIC) between 2007 and 2009. He went on leave from UniMAP in 2009 to pursue his Ph.D and research attachment in KU Leuven, Belgium. Affiliated to the ESAT-TELEMIC Research Division, Dept. of Electrical Engineering, he was first a Research Assistant (2009-2013), and then a Postdoctoral Research Fellow (2013-2014) and is currently an External Research Affiliate. Within the Ph.D, he was also involved in antenna design and characterization for AGFA Healthcare, Mortsel, Belgium, which resulted in a filed European patent. His research interest includes the design, development and modeling of flexible, textile, conformal and planar antennas, on-body communications, metamaterials and microwave measurements. Dr. Soh was the recipient of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Doctoral Research Award in 2012, the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Graduate Fellowship for Medical Applications in 2013 and the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) Young Scientist Award in 2015. He was also the second place winner of the IEEE Presidents' Change the World Competition and IEEE MTT-S Video Competition, both in 2013. Two of his authored journals were also awarded the CST University Publication Award in 2012 and 2011.
Guy A. E. VANDENBOSCH received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Leuven, Belgium, in 1985 and 1991, respectively. Since 1993, he has been a Lecturer, and since 2005, a Full Professor at the same university. Guy Vandenbosch has teached or teaches courses on “Electromagnetic Waves”, “Antennas”, “Electromagnetic Compatibility”, “Electrical Engineering, Electronics, and Electrical Energy”, and ”Digital Steer- and Measuring Techniques in Physics”. His research interests are in the area of electromagnetic theory, computational electromagnetics, planar antennas and circuits, nano-electromagnetics, EM radiation, EMC, and bio-electromagnetics. His work has been published in ca. 225 papers in international journals and has lead to ca. 320 presentations at international conferences. From 2001 to 2007, he was the President of SITEL, the Belgian Society of Engineers in Telecommunication and Electronics. From 2008 - 2014, he was a member of the board of FITCE Belgium, the Belgian branch of the Federation of Telecommunications Engineers of the European Union. In the period 1999-2004, he was vice-chairman, and in the period 2005-2009 secretary of the IEEE Benelux Chapter on Antennas en Propagation. Currently he holds the position of chairman of this Chapter. In the period 2002-2004 he was secretary of the IEEE Benelux Chapter on EMC. In the period 2012-2014 he was secretary of the Belgian National Committee for Radio-electricity (URSI), where he is also in charge of commission E. From September to December 2014, he was a visiting professor at Tsinghua University, Beijing, China.
