Majid Manteghi

Majid Manteghi is an Associate Professor in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University (Virginia Tech). He holds a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from UCLA (2005), and M.S. and B.S. degrees from the University of Tehran (1997 and 1994). His research focuses on advanced antenna systems, electromagnetic theory, and wireless communication technologies. Manteghi’s work emphasizes antenna array design, mutual coupling mitigation, RFID systems, and applications in biomedical engineering such as transcranial magnetic stimulation.

Key research areas include:

• Electromagnetic field manipulation for high-efficiency antennas
• Low-power ultra-low-frequency (ULF) transmitter design
• Calibration-free antenna characterization techniques
• Parametric amplifier-based impedance matching
• RFID systems using distributed exciter networks

His recent publications (2022-2025) highlight innovations in antenna array mutual coupling reduction, transcranial magnetic stimulation efficiency, and broadband parametric impedance matching. Manteghi has contributed to both theoretical advancements (e.g., Array Coupling Index) and practical implementations (e.g., self-sustaining maritime mesh networks).
