Biography

Tahsin Akalin (A’08–M’09) received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electronics from the University of Sciences and Technologies, Lille, France, in 1999 and 2002, respectively.
After two years as an Assistant Professor, he is currently an Associate Professor at IEMN (CNRS UMR-8520) and at IUT A, Lille 1 University, Lille, France. He works on periodic and random structures including metamaterials for propagating, filtering, and radiating components, and is especially involved in the terahertz (THz) science (sources, waveguides, antennas, and detectors). He works on electronic and optoelectronic approaches for bridging the THz gap in passive and active devices, and particularly on beam shaping of THz quantum cascade lasers and on THz photomixers. For this purpose, plasmonic structures are a particular focus. He has invented original and efficient launchers at microwave and THz frequencies of electromagnetic waves on a single strip, called Planar Goubau Lines. One original application of this single metallic wire propagation is in THz near-field microscopy and a second is for THz circuits (filters, modulators). He is also involved in controllable metamaterials at gigahertz and THz frequencies. He works in a broad range of frequencies: microwave, THz, IR, and optics. He is also developing passive and active plasmonic devices, such as plasmonic switches at infrared and visible frequencies with semiconductor nanowire arrays. He is a coauthor of more than 150 international communications with more than 30 invited talks at major conferences. He is currently an European Microwave Lecturer.
Dr. Akalin serves as a Reviewer for a number of publishers (IEEE, Nature, AIP, Wiley, ACS, IOP, Springer). He has served and continues to serve as a TPC Member for several international conferences. He has organized several special sessions on THz and Infrared Plasmonics and Metamaterials. He is also a coeditor of three special journal issues. He is a member of IEEE Societies (IEEE MTT-S and IEEE AP-S), member of the Optical Society of America, the B, D, and J Commissions of l’Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale, and a member of the European Microwave Association.
