Ashwin K. Iyer (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.A.Sc. (Hons.), M.A.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Toronto, Toronto, ON, Canada, in 2001, 2003, and 2009, respectively, with a focus on the discovery and development of the negative-refractive-index transmission-line approach to metamaterial design and the realization of metamaterial lenses for free-space microwave subdiffraction imaging. He is currently a Professor and an Associate Dean, master’s studies with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada, and the Director of the Microwave, Millimetre-Wave, and MetaDevices (M3) Laboratory. His research group investigates novel RF/microwave circuits and techniques, fundamental electromagnetic theory, antennas, sensors, and engineered metamaterials, with an emphasis on their applications to microwave and optical devices, defence technologies, and biomedicine. He has coauthored a number of highly cited papers and book chapters on the subject of metamaterials. Dr. Iyer is a member of the IEEE AP-S AdCom, the Education Committee, the Membership and Benefits Committee, and the Young Professionals Committee. He was a recipient of the IEEE AP-S R. W. P. King Award in 2008, the IEEE AP-S Donald G. Dudley Jr. Undergraduate Teaching Award in 2015, the University of Alberta Provost’s Award for Early Achievement of Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in 2014, and the University of Alberta Rutherford Award for Excellence in Undergraduate Teaching in 2018. His students are the recipients of several major national and international awards for their research. He served as the Technical Program Committee Co-Chair for the 2020, 2016, and 2015 AP-S/URSI International Symposia. He serves as the Chair for the IEEE Northern Canada Section’s Award-Winning Joint Chapter of the AP-S and MTT-S. From 2012 to 2018, he was an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, for which he currently serves as a Track Editor. He was a Guest Editor of the Special Issue on Recent Advances in Metamaterials and Metasurfaces for IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. He is a Registered Member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta.
