Electrical engineering professors Tatsuo Itoh and Ben Williams, with graduate student co-authors Philip Hon, Amir Tavallace and collaborator Qi-Sheng Chen from Northrop Grumman, have been awarded the 2013 IEEE Transactions on THz Science and Technology Best Paper Award by the Institute of International of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE) Microwave Theory and Techniques Society. The award recognizes their paper, “Radiation Model for Terahertz Transmission-Line Metamaterial Quantum Cascade Lasers,” published in the May, 2012 IEEE Transactions on THz Science and Technology, as “the most significant contribution by a published paper in the THz journal to the field of interest THz science and technology in the previous year.”

The authors will be honored this June at a banquet during the International Microwave Symposium in Seattle. The Microwave Theory and Techniques Society is a 60-year-old organization of engineering professionals which promotes the advancement of microwave theory and its applications, including RF, microwave, millimeter-wave, and terahertz technologies.
