Qualifications of the Instructor(s)

Dr. Aly E. Fathy received the B.S.E.E., B.S. in pure and applied mathematics, and M.S.E.E. degrees from Ain Sham University, Cairo, Egypt, and the Ph.D. degree from the Polytechnic Institute of New York, Brooklyn. In 1985, he joined the RCA Research Laboratory (currently the Sarnoff Corporation) in Princeton, N.J. as a Member of the Technical Staff, and in 2001, he was promoted to a Senior Member of the Technical Staff. He was also an Adjunct Professor at the Cooper Union School of Engineering, New York, where he was teaching various graduate and undergraduate courses. Dr. Fathy is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Tennessee-Knoxville since August 2003.
At the Sarnoff Corporation, he was engaged in the research and development of various enabling technologies such as reconfigurable antennas, low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC), and wireless and DBS antennas. He developed various microwave components (subsystems) such as radial combiners, direct board antennas (DBS), speed sensors, and LTCC packages for mixed-signal applications. He was the recipient of five Sarnoff Outstanding Achievements Awards (1988, 1994, 1995, 1997, 1999). At UT, his research group is involved in developing reconfigurable antennas for wireless communications using MEMS technology, and highly linear efficient power amplifiers.
Dr. Fathy holds eleven U.S. patents, and he is a fellow of the IEEE, and an active member of both the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society), and the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques societies. He is a fellow of the IEEE and the Chair of the 2007 Technical Program Committee of the IEEE Radio and Wireless Symposium.
