Professor Steven (Shichang) Gao is Chair of RF and Microwave Engineering, and the Head of Communications Research Group at School of Engineering and Digital Arts, University of Kent in UK. Besides, he is an expert in the fields of space antennas, smart antennas, RF/microwave/millimetre-wave/THz engineering, mobile and satellite communications, radars, electromagnetic field theory and applications. He authored, co-authored and co-edited 3 books including Space Antenna Handbook (Wiley, 2012), Circularly Polarized Antennas (Wiley-IEEE, 2014), and Low-cost Smart Antennas (Wiley, 2019), over 400 papers in international journals and conferences, and owns 20 patents. Moreover, he is a Fellow of IEEE, the Royal Aeronautical Society and IET, and was a Distinguished Lecturer of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (2014-2016). Additionally, he is the representative for the UK and the Republic of Ireland in European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP) and a member of the 6G (6th generation mobile communications) Expert Group responsible for writing the new version of 6G White Paper to be published this year. In the field of antennas and propagation, he is the only UK academic in the 6G Expert Group which consists of some leading experts internationally in 6G related technologies. He is an Associate Editor of several international Journals (IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation; Radio Science; IEEE Access; IET Circuit, Devices and Systems; Electronics Letters), and the Editor-in-Chief for Wiley Book Series on "Microwave and Wireless Technologies". He was General Chair of 2013 Loughborough Antenna and Propagation Conference, Lead Guest Editor of Proceedings of the IEEE for Special Issue on "Small Satellites"(2018), Lead Guest Editor of IEEE Trans on Antennas and Propagation for Special Issue on "Antennas for Satellite Communication"(2015), Guest Editor of IET Circuits, Devices & Systems for Special Issue in “Photonic and RF Communications Systems” (2014), Chair of Special Session on “Satellite Communication Antennas” in CSNDSP'2012, Co-Chair of Workshop on "New Technology Development for Space" in 2015 IEEE Microwave Symposium, etc. He is a member of the editorial boards of many journals such as International Journal of Space Science and Engineering (US), Chinese Journal of Electronics (China), Chinese Journal of Radio Science (China), etc. He was a Plenary/Invited Speaker of many international conferences and workshops (IEEE APWC'2017, UCMMT'2017, iWAT’2017, AES'2014, IWAT'2014, SOMIRES'2013, APCAP'2014, etc). His research interests include smart antennas, space antennas, space-borne radars, phased arrays, MIMO, antenna and radio propagation for 4G/5G/6G mobile communications, mobile terminal antennas, base station antennas, antennas for satellite communications, antennas for small satellites, RF/microwave/millimetre-wave circuits and RF front ends, mobile communication systems, satellite communications, inter-satellite links, wireless power transfer, UWB radars, GNSS reflectometry, synthetic-aperture radars, electromagnetic modeling and small satellites.
