Dr. Puyan Mojabi, P.Eng.
Research
Area
Applied Electromagnetics, Antennas and Propagation.
Expertise
Electromagnetic Inverse Problems, Electromagnetic Metasurfaces, and Electromagnetic Imaging.
Research description
Puyan Mojabi's research synergistically combines the areas of electromagnetic inverse problems and electromagnetic metasurfaces through its focus on two related research themes. The first theme develops systematic processes such that advanced metasurfaces can be designed from various forms of user-defined specifications. This aims to address the needs of future wireless communication systems. The second theme utilizes metasurfaces to enrich the information content of electromagnetic imaging data or to reduce the overall cost of the system. This can be used in various electromagnetic non-destructive testing applications.
