About the Author

My principal research interests lie in room-temperature maser, the measurement and modelling of the dielectric properties of microwave dielectric materials, the design of high Q-factor and Purcell-factor resonators and density functional calculations of materials. Other research areas are microwave filter design, photonic bandgap structures, metamaterials and the measurement of the electrical and magnetic properties of thin films at microwave frequencies.
