Additive Manufacturing RF MEMS
Prof. Jing Wang is the Agere Systems Endowed Chair in Electrical Engineering and Co-Director of USF’s WAMI Center. He leads the RF MEMS Transducers Group, currently comprising 1 postdoctoral fellow, 8 PhD students, 3 MS students, and 2 REU undergraduates, with strong undergraduate engagement through REU and senior design. Since joining USF in 2006, Prof. Wang has mentored and graduated 23 PhD and 8 MS students whose careers span leading RF/microwave and semiconductor companies, national laboratories, and universities. He has co-authored 200+ peer-reviewed papers, several book chapters, and holds 14 U.S. patents. The group’s external support from federal agencies and industry exceeds $25M.
Research in the group advances RF/microwave and mmWave hardware across additive manufacturing for structural electronics and advanced packaging, heterogeneous integration, phased-array antennas and front-end systems, MMICs, micromachined transducers, RF/bio-MEMS, microwave acoustics, wireless sensor telemetry, and functional nanomaterials. Prof. Wang’s recognitions include USF Faculty Outstanding Research Achievement Awards (2024, 2018), the 2017–2018 Outstanding Electrical Engineering Educator Award, and the 2022 Excellence in Innovation Award. In professional service, he has chaired the IEEE MTT-S/APS/EDS Florida West Coast Section since 2009 (the section won the Best MTT-S Chapter Award in 2013); served as faculty advisor to USF’s IEEE MTT-S student chapter since 2017; and held leadership roles with WAMICON—as General/TPC Chair (2011–2014, 2020) and, since 2022, Executive Committee Chair.
