Antenna Masterclass by Prof. Dr. Constantine A. Balanis
Constantine A. Balanis has been with Arizona State University School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering since 1983, where he is now Regents Professor. From 1964-1970 he was with NASA Langley Research Center, Hampton VA, and from 1970-1983 he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering, West Virginia University, Morgantown, WV.
His research interests are in computational electromagnetics, smart antennas, antennas, microwaves, and multipath propagation.
Dr. Balanis is a Life Fellow of the IEEE. He has served as Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (1974-1977) and the IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing (1981-1984); as Editor of the Newsletter for the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society (1982-1983); as Second Vice-President (1984) and member of the Administrative Committee (1984-85) of the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society; and Chair of the Distinguished Lecturer Program (1988-1991), Distinguished Lecturer (2003-2005), member of the AdCom (1992-95, 1997-1999) and Chair of the Awards and Fellows Committee (2009-2011) all of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. He is the author of Antenna Theory: Analysis and Design (Wiley, 2016, 2005, 1997, 1982), Advanced Engineering Electromagnetics (Wiley, 2012, 1989) and Introduction to Smart Antennas (Morgan and Claypool, 2007), and editor of Modern Antenna Handbook (Wiley, 2008) and for the Morgan & Claypool Publishers, series on Antennas and Propagation series, and series on Computational Electromagnetics.

At the end of the lecture, Prof. Balanis was very kind to answer to some of the attendees’ questions.
We would like to thank, first of all, Prof. Constatine Balanis for accepting our invitation and giving us this rich talk which we are sure inspired a lot of the participants, both students and professionals. We also thank the audience for their interest and for spreading information with their colleagues and acquaintances about this significant event.
