IEEE APS John Kraus Antenna Award 2021_Professor Chen Zhi Ning

The IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society recognized Professor Chen Zhi Ning from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering of the National University of Singapore, with the 2021 John Kraus Antenna Award with the citation of “For outstanding contributions to translational research of electromagnetic metamaterials for antenna engineering”.

The award was established in 2004 by John D. Kraus, a renowned specialist in electromagnetics, antennas, and radio astronomy through the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. The award is granted to those whose research contributes to significant advances in antenna technology. It is globally recognized as the highest award in the antenna field.

Prof. Chen and his teams from Institute for the Infocomm Research, AStar and the National University of Singapore have pioneered in and significantly contributed to the research, development, and commercialization (R&D&C) of electromagnetic metamaterials. The antennas they developed have been widely adopted by telecommunicate giant companies for 3G/4G/5G, vehicular radar, satellites, and WLAN systems. They have received multiple Prestigious Engineering Awards. Besides industrial designs, the teams have also published more than 80 papers in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. Prof. Chen has delivered more than 160 invited and keynote speeches at international academic and industrial events in the past 12 years.

First demonstration of a secure quantum network with untrusted quantum devices

An international team comprising researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) and LMU Munich (LMU) have, for the first time, successfully demonstrated a new form of quantum key distribution (QKD) that is secure even if the users are not privy to the underlying quantum hardware. The work, paving the way for a more secure
