Professor Yang Hao received the Ph.D. degree from the Centre for Communications Research (CCR) at the University of Bristol, U.K. in 1998. From 1998 to 2000, he was a postdoc research fellow at the School of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Birmingham, U.K. In May 2000, he joined the Antenna and Electromagnetics Group, Queen Mary, University of London, London, U.K. first as a lecturer and was promoted to Reader in 2005 and to Professor in 2007. Professor Hao currently leads a £4.6M EPSRC QUEST programme grant on transformation electromagnetics and microwave metamaterials. He is a management board member of Cambridge Graphene Center, which has attracted over £25M funding from UK EPSRC. Over the years, he developed several fully-integrated antenna solutions based on novel artificial materials to reduce mutual RF interference, weight, cost and system complexity for security, aerospace and healthcare. He developed, with leading UK industries, novel and emergent gradient index materials to reduce mass, footprint and profile of low frequency and broadband antennas. He also co-developed the first stable active non-Foster’s metamaterial to enhance usability through small antenna size, high directivity, and tuneable operational frequency. He coined the term ‘Body-centric wireless communications’, i.e. networking among wearable and implantable wireless sensors on the human body. He was the first to characterize and include the human body as a communication medium between on-body sensors using surface and creeping waves. He contributed to the industrial development of the first wireless sensors for healthcare monitoring, digital plaster antennas and textile antennas. Professor Hao is a strategic advisory board member for Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC), where he is committed to championing RF/microwave engineering for reshaping the future of UK manufacturing and electronics. Professor Hao is active in a number of areas, including computational electromagnetics, microwave metamaterials and transformation electromagnetics, antennas and radio propagation for body centric wireless networks, active antennas for millimeter/sub-millimeter applications and photonic integrated antennas, graphene and nanomicrowave. Professor Hao has published over 140 journal papers and he was a co-editor and co-author of the books Antennas and Radio Propagation for Body-Centric Wireless Communications (Boston, MA, USA: Artech House, 2006, 2012), and FDTD Modelling of Metamaterials: Theory and Applications (Boston, MA, USA: Artech House, 2008), respectively. He has published more than 200 journal papers and is a frequent keynote speaker for many conferences. Prof. Hao was the Editor-in-Chief for the IEEE ANTENNAS AND WIRELESS PROPAGATION LETTERS. He founded a new open access journal and is now the Editor-in-Chief of EPJ Applied Metamaterials. He won 2015 IET AF Harvey Research Prize and is a co-recipient of BAE Chairman’s Silver Award in 2014. He currently holds the Royal Society Wolfson Research Merit Award. Prof. Hao is a elected Fellow of the ERA Foundation, IET and IEEE.
