Biography
Xun Gong is a professor in the UCF Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and director of the Antenna, RF, and Microwave Integrated Systems (ARMI) Laboratory. He received his bachelor's and master's degrees in electrical engineering from Fudan University and his doctoral degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Prior to UCF, he was a postdoctoral research associate at Birck Nanotechnology Center at Purdue University. His research interests include microwave filters and passive components, wireless passive sensors for harsh environment applications, antennas, phased arrays, reflect arrays, flexible electronics, micromachining, advanced packaging, ceramic materials, polymer materials, ferroelectric materials, metamaterials, and material characterization. He has published 133 refereed journal articles and conference papers, and received the NSF CAREER Award in 2009.
