Meet the editors

Kim Ho Yeap is an associate professor at Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman, Malaysia. He is an IEEE senior member, a professional engineer registered with the Board of Engineers, Malaysia, and a chartered engineer registered with the UK Engineering Council. He received his BEng (Hons) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from Universiti Teknologi Petronas in 2004, his MSc in Microelectronics from Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia

in 2005, and his PhD from Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman in 2011. In 2008 and 2015, respectively, he underwent research attachment at the University of Oxford (UK) and the Nippon Institute of Technology (Japan). He is the external examiner and external course assessor of Wawasan Open University. He is also the editor in chief of the *i-manager's Journal on Digital Signal Processing*. He has also been a guest editor for the *Journal of Applied Environmental and Biological Sciences* and *Journal of Fundamental and Applied Sciences*. In addition, he has been given the university teaching excellence award and 18 research grants. He has published more than 100 research articles (including refereed journal papers, conference proceedings, books, and book chapters), which are mostly related to electromagnetics. Among his notable publications—and those of which he is most proud—are the report on the design of the receiver optics used in the Atacama Large Millimeter/Submillimeter Array telescope and the formulations that rigorously describe wave propagation in lossy waveguides.

Kazuhiro Hirasawa is a professor (Tsukuba University), Japan (2005–present), and an international collaborative partner (Universiti Tunku Abdul Rahman), Malaysia (2013–present). He received his BEng in 1964, his MEng in 1966 (Keio University), and his PhD in 1971 (Syracuse University). He was at the University of Tsukuba (1978–2005), Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology (2005–2007), MIT (USA) (1991), and Institute

for Infocomm Research (Singapore) (2002). He was an editor of the *International Journal on Wireless and Optical Communications* (2003–2007). He has published about 200 research articles (journal papers, international conference proceedings, books, book chapters, and US government reports) in electromagnetic waves and antennas. He is an IEEE Life Fellow. He obtained the best paper award at IEEE EMC International Symposium with Dr. Morioka (2010).
