Bio

Jorge R. Costa was born in Lisbon, Portugal, in 1974. He received the Licenciado and Ph.D. degrees in electrical and computer engineering from the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST), Technical University of Lisbon, Lisbon, Portugal, in 1997 and 2002, respectively.

He is currently a Senior Researcher at the Instituto de Telecomunicações, Lisbon, Portugal. He is also a Full Professor at the Departamento de Ciências e Tecnologias da Informação, Instituto Universitário de Lisboa (ISCTE-IUL). His present research interests include dielectric lenses, transmit-arrays, and biomedical antennas. He is the co-author of four patent applications and more than 200 contributions to peer-reviewed journals and international conference proceedings. More than forty of these papers have appeared in IEEE Journals.

Prof. Costa served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation from 2010 to 2016 and he was a Guest Editor of the Special Issue on “Antennas and Propagation at mm- and Sub mm-Waves”, from the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, April 2013. He is currently an Associate Editor of IEEE Open Journal of Antennas and Propagation. He was the Co-Chair of the Technical Program Committee of the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP 2015) in Lisbon and General Vice-Chair of EuCAP 2017 in Paris. He is a senior member of IEEE.
