Brief Biography

Ezzeldin A. Soliman received his BSc degree (distinction with honors) in electronics and communications engineering from Cairo University in June 1992. In June 1993 he received a diploma from Cairo University in engineering physics, which is equivalent to a BSc degree in physics. He received his MSc degree in engineering physics from Cairo University in November 1995. In June 1996, he joined both the Interuniversity Micro Electronics Center (IMEC), Belgium, and the Department of Electrical Engineering (ESAT) of the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (KU Leuven), Belgium. He received his PhD degree (summa cum laude) in electrical engineering from KU Leuven in February 2000. Soliman held the following positions: Assistant Professor at Cairo University (2000-2005), Visiting Assistant Professor (on leave from Cairo University) at McMaster University, Canada (2002-2003), Associate Professor at King AbdulAziz University, KSA (2005-2007), Associate Professor at The American University in Cairo (AUC), Egypt (2007-2012). Since 2013, he is a Full Professor at the AUC. He served as the Chair of the Department of Physics at the AUC (2017-2019). Soliman is a Research Affiliate at the Department of Electrical Engineering, Telecommunications and Microwaves Division, KU Leuven, Belgium. He was a Visiting Professor at both IMEC and KU Leuven many times in the period 2002-2017. He has been a Visiting Professor at McMaster University, Canada, during Spring 2014, Fall 2014, and Summer 2015. Soliman is the Consultant of the Egyptian Space Agency (EgSA.)

Soliman has three main lines of research. The first line is concerned with the development of novel integrated antenna systems. His research in this area covers wide range of operating frequencies, such as: planar antennas operating in the RF and microwave ranges, in addition to micromachined antennas operating in the millimeter-wave and sub-millimeter-wave ranges. Soliman has developed many novel antennas for different applications, such as: wireless local area network (WLAN), radio frequency identification (RFID), ultra-wide band (UWB) communication, satellite communication, 5G mobile communication, wireless personal area networks (WPAN), biomedical imaging, radar systems, and THz imaging systems. His second line of research is directed towards computational electromagnetics. He is interested in developing new techniques for the efficient and accurate simulation and optimization of planar antennas in layered media using the integral equations formulation. His third research interest is the field of plasmonics and nano antennas and their applications in solar and thermal energy harvesting, optical communication, and biomedical sensing.

Soliman holds four patents in the area of integrated antennas. He has published many peer-reviewed technical papers in the most reputable international journals in the field, in addition to many publications and presentations in prestigious international conferences. He is a Senior Member in the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). He is the Founder and Director of the Microwave and Millimeter-Wave (MMW) Laboratory at the AUC. He is the recipient of the “Excellence in Research and Creative Endeavors Award” offered by the AUC, and the “Outstanding Scholarly Research” offered by the School of Sciences and Engineering at the AUC. Prof. Soliman was/is the PI and Co-PI of several funded research projects. He is a prominent figure world-wide in both integrated antennas and computational electromagnetics.
