Biography

Makoto Ando (Life Fellow, IEEE) was born in Hokkaido, Japan, in February 1952. He received the B.S., M.S., and D.E. degrees in electrical engineering from the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan, in 1974, 1976, and 1979, respectively.
From 1979 to 1983, he worked with the Yokosuka Electrical Communication Laboratory, NTT, and was involved in development of antennas for satellite communication. He was a Research Associate with the Tokyo Institute of Technology, from 1983 to 1985, where he is currently a Professor. His current interests include high-frequency diffraction theory, such as physical optics and geometrical theory of diffraction, the design of reflector antennas and waveguide planar arrays for DBS and VSAT, and the design of high-gain millimeter-wave antennas. He was a recipient of the Young Engineers Award of IEICE, Japan, in 1981, and the Achievement Award and the Paper Award from IEICE, in 1993. He was also a recipient of the 5th Telecom Systems Award, in 1990, the 8th Inoue Prize for Science, in 1992, the Meritorious Award of the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications and the Chairman of the Broad of ARIB, in 2004, the Award in Information Promotion Month 2006 of the Minister of Internal Affairs and Communications, and the IEICE Distinguished Achievement and Contributions Award, in 2014. He has served as the Chair of Commission B for URSI, from 2002 to 2005, and a member of Administrative Committee of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, from 2004 to 2006. He was the Chair of the Technical committee of Electromagnetic theory, from 2004 to 2005, and Antennas and Propagation, from 2005 to 2007, in IEICE. He was the General Chair of the 2004 URSI EMT Symposium in Pisa and the ISAP 2007 in Niigata. He was the 2007 President of Electronics Society IEICE and the 2009 President of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. He was the 2018 President of IEICE. He is also the President of URSI. He has also served as the Program Officer for engineering science group in the Research Center for Science Systems, JSPS, from 2007 to 2009. He has served as the Guest Editor-in-Chief for more than six special issues in IEICE, Radio Science, and the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation (AP).
