Staff of the Electromagnetics Group

Hendrik Rogier was born in 1971. He received the M.Sc. Electrical Engineering and the Ph.D. degrees from Ghent University, Gent, Belgium, in 1994 and in 1999, respectively. Currently, he is a Senior Full Professor with the Department of Information Technology of Ghent University, Belgium, and a Guest Professor at imec, Ghent, Belgium.

His current research interests are antenna systems, radiowave propagation, body-centric communication, numerical electromagnetics, electromagnetic compatibility and power/signal integrity. Dr. Rogier is a Senior Member of the IEEE and acts as the URSI Commission B representative for Belgium.

Sam Lemey received the M.Sc. degree in Electronic Engineering from Howest, University College West Flanders, Kortrijk, Belgium, in 2012, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium, in 2016.

His research interests include antenna systems for wearable applications, active antenna design for the Internet of Things and (beyond) 5G applications, and full-wave/circuit co-optimization frameworks.

Ann Franchois received the M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Ghent University, Ghent, Belgium, in 1988, and the DEA and Ph.D. degrees in optics and photonics from the University of Paris-Sud, Paris, France, in 1989 and 1993, respectively.

Her research interests include inverse scattering and imaging.

Patrick Van Torre received his M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering and his Ph.D. from Ghent University, Belgium, in 1995 and 2012, respectively. His research interests focus on wireless communications, particularly body-centric MIMO and beam-forming systems.

Jo Verhaevert received the Engineering degree and the Ph.D. degree in Electronic Engineering from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium, in 1999 and 2005, respectively. His research interests include indoor wireless applications, smart antenna systems, and integration of active electronics in wireless communication systems.
