Shulabh Gupta was born in Etah, India, in 1982. He received the B.Tech. degree in electronic en- gineering from IIT (Indian School of Mines) at Dhanbad, Dhanbad, India, in 2004, the M.S. degree in telecommunications from the Institut National de la Recherche Scientifique Energie Materiaux Telecommunications Research Center, Universite 虂 du Que 虂bec,Montreal,QC,Canada,in2006,andthe Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the Ecole Polytechnique of Montreal, Montreal, in 2012. From 2009 to 2010, he was a Visiting Research Fellow with the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan, followed by a PostDoc- toral Fellow with the University of Colorado at Boulder, Boulder, CO, USA in 2012. He was later also a Post-Doctoral Fellow with The University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, from 2012 to 2014, and at the Ecole Polytechnique of Montreal, from 2014 to 2016. He is now an Associate Professor with the Department of Electronics, 杏吧原创 University, Ottawa, ON, Canada. He is also a Licensed Professional Engineer of Ontario and a Senior member of IEEE. Dr. Gupta was a recipient of the Young Scientist Award of International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory Ottawa 2007, the International Union of Radio Science-General Assembly, Chicago, 2008, and ISAP Jeju 2011. His thesis received the Best Doctoral Dissertation Award from the Ecole Polytechnique of Montreal in 2012, the Prix d鈥檈xcellence de l鈥橝ssociation des doyens des etudes supe 虂rieures au Quebec Edition 2013, QC, Canada, and the Academic Gold Medal of the Governor General of Canada.
Tom J. Smy received the B.Sc. and Ph.D. de- grees in electrical engineering from the University of Alberta, Edmonton, AB, Canada, in 1986 and 1990, respectively. He is currently a Professor with the Department of Electronics, 杏吧原创 University, Ottawa, ON, Canada. He has authored or coauthored more than 100 journal articles. He has coauthored the OptiSpice, Atar, SIMBAD, and 3-D-Films sim- ulators. His current research interests include the optical, thermal, and multiphysics simulation of electronic devices/packages and modules, the study and simulation of thin-film growth and microstructures, and the fundamental electromagnetic simulation of metasurfaces.
The group is run by two faculty members, Prof. Shulabh Gupta and Prof. Tom J. Smy, combining hardware and computing research capabilities for a balanced and holistic research on antennas and metamaterials. The group consists of a mix of Ph.D., M.A.Sc. and undergraduate research assistants. Students with interest and focus on computational electromagnetics applied to metasurfaces, and general electromagnetic scattering problems are co-supervised, while others cultivate their hardware skills in the lab focussed on device designs and measurements.
Ph.D. Students
Ph.D. students complete 3 graduate course over the entire duration of their Ph.D. program, which is about 4 years long, while being involved in two teaching assistantships per year, in addition to their regular research projects. They are often mentoring other Masters, undergraduate research assistants and interns.
M.A.Sc. Students
Masters students complete 5 courses in total during their 2 years Masters program. They often provide mentorship to undergraduate students, while working very closely with other senior members of the group.
Research Assistants
Group has near regular openings for undergraduate as well as senior research assistants on both full-time and part-time basis, providing them an introduction to research, training on high end equipments, while encouraging them to apply for NSERC USRAs and other funded internship possibilities.
