Dr. Gregory Huff and his Ph.D. student, S. Andrew Long, received the Best Paper Award in Reconfigurable Hardware from the NASA/ESA (European Space Agency) Conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems (AHS-2009).

Dr. Gregory Huff

Huff and Long won the award for their paper, “A Substrate Integrated Fluidic Compensation Mechanism for Deformable Antennas.” The award comes with a cash prize and will be published on the AHS-2009 Web site.

Huff, an assistant professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Texas A&M, joined the department’s Electromagnetics and Microwaves group in September 2006. He received his Ph.D., his M.S. and his B.S. all from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Recent honors include the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) for his work on multifunctional antennas and multimodal sensing systems; a CAREER Award from the National Science Foundation (NSF); and a Young Scientist Award from L’Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale (URSI) – the International Union of Radio Science.

Huff’s research interests include biologically inspired mechanisms and dynamic material systems (microfluidics, nanoparticles, etc.); the theory, design and application of reconfigurable antennas and circuits (sensors, phase shifters, filters, etc.); multifunctional (structural, electromagnetic, etc.) RF, microwave and millimeter-wave radiating systems and smart skins; studying the role of reconfigurable/multifunctional antennas in spread spectrum digital communication techniques; multiple antenna techniques; and the placement and electromagnetic interference (EMI) issues arising from the conformal integration high speed devices and radiators into host chassis.
The purpose of the NASA/ESA Conference on Adaptive Hardware and Systems is to bring together leading researchers from the adaptive hardware and systems community to exchange experiences and share new ideas in the field.
