Jeffrey Nanzer

Jeffrey Nanzer received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering and the B.S. degree in computer engineering from Michigan State University in 2003 and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Texas at Austin in 2005 and 2008, respectively. From 2008 to 2009 he was with the University of Texas Applied Research Laboratories in Austin, Texas as a Post-Doctoral Fellow designing electrically small HF antennas and communications systems. From 2009 to 2016 he was with the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory where he created and led the Advanced Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Technology Section. In 2016 he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Michigan State University where he held the Dennis P. Nyquist Assistant Professorship from 2016 through 2021. He is currently an Associate Professor. He directs the Electromagnetics Laboratory, which consists of the Antenna Laboratory, the Radar Laboratory, and the Wireless Laboratory. He has published more than 200 journal and conference papers, two book chapters, and the book Microwave and Millimeter-Wave Remote Sensing for Security Applications (Artech House, 2012). His research interests are in the areas of distributed phased arrays, millimeter-wave imaging, remote sensing, antennas and arrays, millimeter-wave photonics, and electromagnetics. Dr. Nanzer is a member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Education Committee and a member of USNC/URSI Commission B. He was a Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (Tatsuo Itoh class of 2022-2024). He has served as Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Guest Editor for the IEEE Microwave and Wireless Technology Letters, Chair of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) Microwave Systems Technical Committee (MTT-16), Vice-Chair of the IEEE Antenna Standards Committee, and member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Standards Committee. He was a founding member and the first treasurer of the IEEE AP-S/MTT Central Texas Chapter.
