note = "Funding Information: Ph.D. degree in electronics from the University of Kent, Canterbury, U.K., in 1982 and 1985, respectively. He joined Loughborough University as a Lecturer in 1988 and was promoted to the Senior Lecturer in 1992 and a Professor in wireless communications in 1998. He served as the Dean of the School of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering, Loughborough University from 2011 to 2012. He established the 30 year old Wireless Communications Research Group at Loughborough University and founded the Centre for Mobile Communications Research. He is currently the Director of Symeta Research Centre, Loughborough, U.K. (www.symeta.co.uk), funded by an EPSRC Grand Challenge Award, researching in a wide-ranging topics applicable to cutting-edge wireless communications technology. Symeta collaborates with many internationally leading companies and universities. He has authored/coauthored more than 300 refereed journals and conference proceeding papers (with 6500 citations) and has written a book on FSS. He has served as a consultant to various industries, holds six patents, and is the Technical Director of Antrum, Ltd. He has attracted research funding from industry and has been awarded 18 EPSRC research grants. His current research focuses primarily on metamaterial structures, additive manufacturing [three-dimensional (3-D) printing] for RF/micro/mm wave engineering. He was the recipient of the prestigious EPSRC{\textquoteright}s Grand Challenge £5M (FEC) Award: Synthesizing 3-D Metamaterials for RF, Microwave and THz Applications (http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/N010493/1. He was the Chairman of the Executive Committee of the IET{\textquoteright}s Antennas and Propagation Professional Network in the U.K. and chaired the IEEE{\textquoteright}s Distinguish Lecturer Program of the Antennas and Propagation Society for five years. He founded the Loughborough Antennas and Propagation Conference, which has been running since 2005. He has chaired numerous IEE/IET events and has served on the Steering Committee of the European Conference on Antennas and Propagation (EuCAP). He was the General Chair of EuCAP{\textquoteright}07. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineers in 2011.",
