CV:
Antti V. Räisänen received the Doctor of Science (Tech.) degree in Electrical Engineering from the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK), Finland , in 1981. Dr. Räisänen was appointed to the Professor Chair of Radio Engineering at TKK in 1989, after holding the same position pro tem in 1985 and 1987–1989. He has held visiting scientist and professor positions at the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory (FCRAO) and UMass, Amherst (1978–79, 80, 81), at Chalmers University of Technology, Göteborg, Sweden (1983), at the Department of Physics, UC Berkeley (1984–85), at JPL Caltech, Pasadena (1992–93), and at Paris Observatory and University of Paris 6 (2001–02).
Currently, Dr. Räisänen is supervising research in millimeter-wave components, antennas, receivers, microwave measurements, etc. at TKK Dept. of Radio Science and Engineering and MilliLab (Millimetre Wave Laboratory of Finland – ESA External Laboratory). The Centre of Smart Radios and Wireless Research (SMARAD) led by Dr. Räisänen at TKK, has obtained the national status of CoE in Research for 2002-2007 and 2008-2013. He has authored and co-authored some 400 scientific or technical papers and six books, e.g. Radio Engineering for Wireless Communication and Sensor Applications (Massachusetts : Artech House, 2003, with A. Lehto).
Dr. Räisänen has been Conference Chairman for several international microwave
and millimeter wave conferences including the European Microwave Conference in
1992. In 1997, he was elected the Vice-Rector of TKK for the period of
1997-2000. He served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on
Microwave Theory and Techniques from 2002 to 2005. He is a member of the
Board of Directors of the European Microwave Association (EuMA) for 2006-2008
and 2009-2011. He is a Fellow of the IEEE since 1994, and a Fellow of Antenna
Measurement Techniques Association (AMTA) since 2008. Dr. Räisänen received
AMTA's 2009 Distinguished Achievement Award.
