Victor M. Lubecke (Fellow, IEEE) received the Ph.D. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, CA, USA, in 1990 and 1995, and the B.S. degree in electrical and electronics engineering from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, CA, USA, in 1986, respectively.
He is currently a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering Professor at the University of Hawai’i at Manoa, Honolulu, HI, USA. He was previously with Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies, Murray Hill, NJ, USA, where his research focused on remote sensing technologies for biomedical and industrial applications and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) and 3-D wafer-scale integration technologies for wireless and optical communications. Before that, he worked for NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), Pasadena, CA, USA, and the Institute for Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN), Sendai, Japan, where his research involved terahertz and MEMS receiver technologies for space remote sensing and communications applications. He also co-founded both Kai Medical, Inc., and Adnoviv, Inc., Honolulu, HI, USA. He has published roughly 300 peer-reviewed research articles and holds seven issued U.S. patents. His current research interests include remote sensing, biomedical sensors, MEMS, heterogeneous integration, and microwave/terahertz radio.
Dr. Lubecke is the recipient of the University of Hawaii Board of Regents' (BOR) Medal for Excellence in Research, a Fulbright Senior Scholar, an emeritus Distinguished Microwave Lecturer (DML) of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques (MTT) Society, and a Speakers Bureau Speaker. He has served as a Guest Editor for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON MICROWAVE THEORY AND TECHNIQES, Topic Editor for IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON TERAHERTZ SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY, the Vice-Chair for the 2017 IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS), and a member of the MTT Technical Committees for Terahertz Technology and Applications and Biological Effects and Medical Applications. He is currently Chair of the IEEE AgeTech Intelligent Homes Committee.
