**Meet the editor**

Dr. You obtained his BSc Physics (Honors) degree from the Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia (UKM) in 2001. He pursued his MSc degree in Microwave from the Faculty of Science in 2003 and his PhD degree in Wave Propagation from the Institute for Mathematical Research, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), Serdang, Selangor, Malaysia, in 2006. His main personal research inter-

est is on the theory, simulation, and instrumentation of electromagnetic wave propagation at microwave frequencies focusing on the development of microwave passive devices and sensors for medical and agricultural applications. For the past 17 years, Dr. You has been developing numerous projects concerning the microwave waveguide measurement systems for agri-food, biomedical processing and microwave devices for biomedical treatments, as well as numerical electromagnetic modeling.
