Rod graduated from UCLA with his Ph.D. in electrical engineering. Before joining Stevens as an assistant professor, he developed space sensors and communication systems at Jet Propulsion Laboratory. Rod received an NSF CAREER Award in 2025 and a DARPA Young Faculty Award in 2022. He is currently an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques.

Ratanak received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Chung-Ang University (CAU) in Seoul, South Korea, in 2024. He is currently a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Yanghyo Kim's research group at Stevens Institute of Technology. His research interests focus on applied electromagnetics, particularly electrically tunable metasurfaces and antennas. He was the recipient of the TICRA Travel Grant at the 2023 AP-S/URSI conference and the IEEE AP-S Seoul Chapter Chair Award at the 2023 Winter Conference of the Korean Institute of Electromagnetic Engineering and Science.

Abhishek Sharma received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur (IITK), Uttar Pradesh, India, in 2019. He was a postdoctoral fellow at City University of Hong Kong before joining Stevens as a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Yanghyo Kim's group. His current research interests include applied electromagnetics, primarily metasurfaces and antennas, with applications ranging from microwaves to terahertz frequencies. He received the URSI-InRaSS Young Indian Radio Scientist Award in 2019 during the URSI Asia-Pacific Radio Science Conference in New Delhi. He is currently serving as an associate editor for the IET Electronics Letters. www.sharma-abhishek.com
