Abbas Semnani
Abbas Semnani earned his B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Tehran in 2000, followed by his M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the K.N. Toosi University of Technology in 2002 and 2009, respectively. Currently, he is an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Toledo.
Prior to joining UToledo in 2019, he was affiliated with Purdue University from 2012, where his research focused on plasma-EM interactions and plasma for high-power RF tuning. Before that, he served as a Research and Teaching Associate with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at K.N. Toosi University of Technology from 2009 to 2012. During his Ph.D., he was a visiting scholar at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki in 2008, where his research was centered on novel computational techniques for solving time-domain inverse scattering problems.
Dr. Semnani received the 2019 IEEE MTT-S “Tatsuo Itoh” award and the NASA Glenn Faculty Fellowship in 2022. His research interests include high-power microwaves, low-temperature plasmas, reconfigurable RF electronics, tunable and small antennas, and RF nanotechnology.
