• Research Interests
  
  I am very interested in the field of optically controlled microwave devices. It is a recent field of research - creating an optically controlled variable resistor can have a huge applications in microwave integrated circuits: tuning filter, matching circuits, pulse generator radar, etc. I am also interested in the field of antenna theory. We are now living in the era of mobile communication where there is a tremendous need for broad band, compact and low power antennas.
