Syed Umer Abbas Shah

Syed Umer Abbas Shah is a Researcher at the Department of Micro and Nanosystems, KTH Royal Institute of Technology since May 2016. He holds a PhD in Microsystem Technology from KTH (2014), an MSc in Wireless Engineering from DTU (2007), and a BS in Engineering from GIK Institute (2003). His research focuses on millimeter-wave and terahertz micromachined components, including filters, phase shifters, waveguides, and antennas, emphasizing MEMS reconfigurability for tunability. He has received the IEEE MTT Graduate Fellowship Award (2014) and a best paper award at the 2010 Asia-Pacific Microwave Conference.

His teaching includes courses such as 'Build your own Radar System' and 'Hands-On Microelectromechanical Systems Engineering.' Key research areas span MEMS-based high-frequency systems, with publications on sub-THz radar, waveguide components, and antenna design. His work addresses challenges in reconfigurable systems, beam steering, and high-frequency integration.
