Top Row: Mark Wheeler, Sue
Erickson, Mohmmad Mojahedi (PI), Reza Safian, and Bert Leslie
Bottom Row: Preetha Stephen, Omar Siddiqui, Jon Woodley
Sue joined Mo's Electromagnetics group in September 2002, and is currently working on her Master's degree (M.A.Sc). Her research involves designing, simulating and building a zero-loss, relatively broadband, negative group delay, loaded-transmission-line device that works in the low-gigahertz frequency range, which could potentially be used for delay compensation -- that is, she's trying to make light go faster than light, and have it be useful for something. Sue completed her undergraduate degree in Engineering Physics in 2000 in the Engineering Science program at the Univ. of Toronto. She obtained the Centennial Thesis Award for Engineering Science, Class of 2000, for her undergraduate thesis work on the electrical properties of novel conducting polymers with Professor Keith G. Balmain, also in the Electromagnetics group. Following her undergraduate degree, she worked for two years at JDS Uniphase in Ottawa, Ontario as a manufacturing engineer on their new product introduction line, building the optics of a dynamic gain equalizer for use in long-haul optical networks. Sue's non-school interests include photography, sculpture and painting, as well as reading good books, long-distance running, biking, playing the piano, hanging out with her nephew, traveling, and drinking beer on patios.

I was born and grew up in Isfahan, Iran. I received my B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from Isfahan University of Technology (IUT), Isfahan, Iran in 1999. I started my career as a researcher in Electrical and Computer Engineering Research Center (ECERC) of IUT from 1999 to 2001. I joined the ECE department at McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada in January 2002. I received my M.A.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from McMaster University in 2003. I joined the ECE department at the University of Toronto in September 2003 to pursue my education toward a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering. My interests include a wide range of theory of Electromagnetics, though I plan to focus on the area of dispersion engineering. My hobbies include going to fitness club, swimming, playing squash, and soccer.
I was born in Windsor, ON. I graduated with a B.A.Sc. in Electrical Engineering (Co-op) with great distinction from the University of Windsor in 2002. I joined the Photonics group at the University of Toronto in 2002 to work on my Ph.D. degree under the supervision of Prof. Mojahedi. I am working on designing negative index metamaterials. http://www.waves.utoronto.ca/~wheeler
Hobbies / Interests: Soccer, Basketball, Shirling, reading philosophy, literature, going to speling bees, writing
Background: Attended St Roboits High School and did his undergrad at the University of Toronto. Jon was born in Montréal but lived in Toronto most of his life. He joined the faculty in 2001
Area of Research: Propagation characteristics in left handed meta materials, specifically those involving artificial electic plasma. He did his undergraduate thesis with K.G Balmain on electric properties of dielectrics.
Long and short term goals: Jon plans to do a PHD and maybe travel afterwards
Woodley, Jon
