Description

Ping Jack Soh received the PhD degree in electrical engineering from KU Leuven, Belgium. He is an Associate Professor in the University of Oulu, Finland and an Academy Research Fellow with the Research Council of Finland. He started his career as a Test Engineer (2002 -2004) and an R&D Engineer (2005-2006) in two telecommunication/electronics companies. He was then a Lecturer in Universiti Malaysia Perlis (UniMAP) (2006-2009) before moving to KU Leuven as a Research Assistant (2009-2013), Postdoctoral Research Fellow (2013-2014) and is now a Research Affiliate (2014-date). He rejoined UniMAP as a Senior Lecturer (2014-2017) and an Associate Professor (2017-2021), prior to his current role. He was also the coordinator for the “Devices and Circuit Technology” strategic research area within the Finnish national 6G Flagship research program (2022-2023). To date, he has led and completed five internationally- and nationally funded research projects as the Principal Investigator, besides currently leading ongoing projects funded by the Research Council of Finland and the US Office of Naval Research Global. He also leads the Oulu team in the Horizon Europe TERRAMETA consortium. His research interests include antenna design and their applications in wearables / wireless body area communication (WBAN); metasurfaces and reflectors; next-generation communications; compact satellites; EM safety and absorption; and wireless techniques for healthcare. Dr. Soh was the recipient of the URSI Young Scientist Award in 2015, the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Graduate Fellowship for Medical Applications in 2013 and the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Doctoral Research Award in 2012. He was also the Second Place Winner of the IEEE Presidents' Change the World Competition in 2013. He is a Chartered Engineer registered with the UK Engineering Council, a Senior Member of the IEEE, and a Member of the IET and URSI. He serves an Associate Editor of the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters and the International Journal of Numerical Modelling: Electronic Networks, Devices and Fields (Wiley). He also served as the TPC Co-Chair of the IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Biomedical Conference (IMBioC) 2023, and volunteers in the IEEE MTT-S Education Committee.
