About
Wayne S. T. Rowe received the B.Eng. (Hons) and Ph.D. degree from RMIT University, Melbourne, Australia in 1998 and 2002 respectively. From 2002 to 2016, he was employed in the roles of Research Fellow, Lecturer, and Deputy Head of the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at RMIT University. His research interests include antennas, metamaterials, and Frequency Selective Surfaces (FSS) at RF, microwave, millimeter-wave and THz frequencies; the integration of antennas and RF devices with flexible, stretchable and composite materials using novel micro/nano-fabrication technologies; and electromagnetic sensing (strain, partial discharge, etc.) and localization. He is currently an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering at RMIT University. A/Prof Rowe previously received the Vice Chancellor’s Award for the most outstanding research performance by an early career researcher. He is currently an Associate Editor of the IET Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation Journal.
