| Gabriel M. Rebeiz |
Rebeiz holds the Wireless
Communications Industry Professor Endowed Chair at UC San Diego. Rebeiz was
part of a team that won a 2014 R&D 100 Award from R&D Magazine for its “Automotive Phased Array Radar.” The
system could eventually be incorporated into both human-driven cars as well as
driverless cars of the future. (Read the press release here.)
In the story “RF MEMS: New Possibilities for
Smartphones,” research from professor
Rebeiz and his students on tunable antennas graced the cover of the winter
2013/2014 issue of Pulse, the magazine of the UC San Diego Jacobs School of
Engineering.
An IEEE Fellow, professor Rebeiz’s interests
include RFICs for phased arrays, mm-wave and THz systems, automotive radars, RF
MEMS, reconfigurable front-end systems for 4G and 5G, tunable filters, tunable
antennas, on-chip antennas, and sensor systems.
The Kuwait Prize was launched in 1976 in fulfillment of
KFAS's strategy to support scientific research and encourage scholars and
researchers in Kuwait and all other Arab countries. The annual prizes are designed
to recognize intellectual achievements that serve the interest of scientific
advancement and support efforts to raise the standard of culture in various
fields. Five different categories were considered in 2014: “Earth Sciences,” “Engineering
Sciences,” “Economics and Management,” “Studies in Arabic Language and
Literature,” and “Arabic and Islamic Scientific Heritage.” Prof. Rebeiz was the
sole awardee in the “Engineering Sciences” category, which is offered once
every 4-5 years. He will receive the Kuwait prize in Fall 2015 at a dinner
hosted by the KFAS Foundation in Kuwait City, Kuwait and supported by the Emir
of Kuwait.
