Walter Disharoon Receives Herbert P. Haley Fellowship
Ph.D. student Walter Disharoon received the Herbert P. Haley Fellowship. Walter joined Georgia Tech as a Ph.D. student in 2021. He joined the mmWave antennas and arrays laboratory in Spring 2022. He won the fellowship for his continued research on VO2-based reconfigurable metasurfaces including a reconfigurable reflectarray and an energy selective surface. Congratulations Walter!
Ghalichechian Promoted to Associate Professor
Dr. Nima Ghalichechian has been awarded promotion to the rank of Associate Professor with tenure in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the College of Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology.
Dr. Ghalichechian is the Director of the mmWave Antennas and Arrays Laboratory and Associate Director of the Georgia Electronic Design Center (GEDC). He is currently an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas & Propagation. His research focuses on mmWave phased arrays, reconfigurable antennas, reflect-arrays, transmit-arrays, on-chip antennas, phase-change materials, non-reciprocal microwave devices, high-power arrays, and mmWave measurement techniques. He joined the School of ECE at Georgia Institute of Technology as an Assistant Professor in August 2021.
Ghalichechian Receives Roger Webb Junior Faculty Award
Prof. Ghalichechian receives the 2024 Roger Webb Junior Faculty Award from the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering. This award recognizes the most outstanding assistant professors and/or associate professors in ECE with less than 10 years since their initial faculty appointment.
William Pavlick Receives NDSEG Fellowship
Ph.D. student William Pavlick receives the prestigious National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship. William joined Georgia Tech and mmWave Antennas and Arrays Laboratory as a Ph.D. student in 2023. He currently performs research on reconfigurable meta-surfaces enabled by magnetic shape morphing polymers. Congratulations William!
Ashley Goodnight Receives NSF Fellowship
Undergraduate researcher Ashley Goodnight receives the prestigious NSF Graduate Research Fellowship Program (GRFP). Ashley has been involved in design, fabrication, and test of tunable mmWave transmission lines using phase-change materials. She recently received her B.S. from Georgia Institute of Technology. Ashley will join MIT as a Ph.D. student in Fall 2024. We wish her the very best. Congratulations Ashley! We will miss you!
David West Receives NDSEG Fellowship
Ph.D. student David West receives the prestigious National Defense Science and Engineering Graduate (NDSEG) Fellowship. David joined Georgia Tech and mmWave Antennas and Arrays Laboratory as a Ph.D. student in 2022. He has performed research on VO2-based reconfigurable mmWave devices, including tunable Ka-band polarizers, low-loss switches, mmWave arrays, and periodic structures. Congratulations David!

Seung Yoon Lee Receives IEEE 2023 Antennas & Propagation Society (AP-S) Doctoral Research Grant
Seung Yoon (Sonny) Lee was awarded the prestigious IEEE 2023 Antennas & Propagation Society (AP-S) Doctoral Research Grant. The grant awards $5000 to only 10 PhD students globally every year to support students in their pursuit of careers in electromagnetics. Sonny’s project aims to develop a highly efficient on-chip antenna array operating in the mmWave band, incorporating low-loss vanadium dioxide (VO2) switches through monolithic integration. The primary objective is to design, fabricate, and characterize a 60 GHz electronically scanned array for high-speed wireless systems.
