King Yuk Chan

Dr. King Yuk (Eric) Chan is a Lecturer at the School of Electrical Engineering and Telecommunications, University of New South Wales (UNSW), Sydney, Australia. He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from UNSW in 2005, 2007, and 2011 respectively. Prior to joining UNSW as faculty, he worked as a research assistant at the Centre for Integrated RF Engineering (CIRFE) at the University of Waterloo (2008-2009) and as a post-doctoral fellow at the ICT Centre, CSIRO (2011-2013).

His educational background includes:

• Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical Engineering, UNSW, Sydney (2011)
• Master of Engineering Science, Electrical Engineering, UNSW, Sydney (2007)
• Bachelor of Electrical Engineering (First Class Honor), UNSW, Sydney (2005)

Dr. Chan's research spans microwave engineering, RF MEMS technology, antenna design, and 3D printing applications for microwave devices. His work focuses on the design, characterization, and fabrication of front-end devices with operating frequencies ranging from RF to terahertz, with significant contributions to reconfigurable microwave circuits and innovative fabrication techniques.

His recent publications demonstrate a strong trend toward integrating 3D printing technology with traditional microwave engineering, particularly for waveguide components and antenna systems. His research shows increasing focus on practical applications in wireless communications, with emphasis on beam steering, polarization control, and size reduction of microwave components.

Dr. Chan has received numerous awards and recognitions for his work:

• IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS) 2008, Best Student Paper Award
• IEEE Mediterranean Microwave Symposium (MMS) 2009, Best Student Paper Award
• Australian Postgraduate Research Scholarship 2006 – 2010
• Workshop on Applications of Radio Science 2010, Best Student Award
• UNSW Post-doctoral Writing Fellowship 2010
• BIT's 2nd Annual World Congress of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology 2012, Keynote Speaker

As a Chief Investigator, Dr. Chan has secured significant research funding, including an ARC Discovery Project (DP200103127) titled "New Era of High-Performance Microwave Devices" ($431,000 over 3 years) and an NHMRC Project Grant (APP1156997) on radiofrequency electromagnetic energy effects ($423,000 over 3 years). He serves as a reviewer for top-tier journals including IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques and IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, and has been a member of the reviewer board for MDPI Sensors since 2020.

Dr. Chan is actively involved in the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) and IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S), contributing to the advancement of microwave engineering through research, publication, and professional service.
