Biography

The group leader is Prof. Mojgan Daneshmand, Ph.D, P.Eng, who is a Canada Research Chair in advanced radio frequency (RF) microelectromechanical systems (MEMS). Our group is working toward advancing integrated microwave to millimeterwave micro/nano devices and systems by developing novel configurations and new applications. The results of our work are applied in wide range of fields, ranging from satellite and wireless communications to biomedical systems.

Research Interest

The evolution of wireless technology shows no signs of slowing. It has strong impact on various aspects of our daily life, covering wireless handheld devices, satellite payloads, automotive, military, radars, and, more importantly, biomedical and human health monitoring systems. A key trend in this technological evolution is miniaturization and ultra-high density integration of radio/microwave frequency devices. Micro-Electromechanical systems (MEMS) technology provides the opportunity to develop micro-scale RF devices and satisfy market demand. This has made it possible to realize miniaturized components and systems with superior performance in comparison to the conventional technologies. My research interests consist of two major sections. First one focuses on using nano/micro technology for advancing Microwave to Millimeterwave components and systems such as switches, phase shifter, tunable filters, and reconfigurable antennas and their application in systems level for application in wireless transceivers. The second section of my research interest is developing biomedical devices with focus on RF MEMS sensors and telemetry for health monitoring and diagnosis purposes.
