Mohammad Memarian received his BASc (Honours Co-op) in 2007 and MASc in 2009 from the University of Waterloo. He is currently a PhD candidate in the Electromagnetics group under the supervision of professor G. V. Eleftheriades. His research has been on devising and analysis of a novel radiation enhancement mechanism using periodic structures, as well as light concentration and radiation shaping using low-index metamaterials. His research in MASc was on developing novel dielectric resonator filters and multiplexers. Mohammad’s research interests are in different areas of electromagnetics and optics including metamaterials, antennas, microwave circuits and devices.
