Rony E. Amaya (S’98–M’04–SM’11) received the M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees from Carleton University, Ottawa, ON, Canada, in 2001 and 2005, respectively. He joined the Design Center, Skyworks Solutions, Ottawa, in 2003, as a Senior Engineer, where he was involved in the design RFIC’s for wireless transceivers. He also held a Research Scientist position with the Communications Research Centre Canada from 2006 to 2015, where he was involved in developing integrated RF circuit and system solutions from S-band to E-band and addressing packaging integration. He is currently an Associate Professor with the Department of Electronics, Carleton University and his research interest include: intelligent wireless communications systems making use of enabling Microwave/RF technologies such as smart engineered surfaces, gallium nitride and metamaterials; Wireless power transfer, contactless communication links and power harvesting with applications to RFID and IoT systems. Monolithic integrated Si/GaN/GaAs circuits; high-performance microwave circuit packaging; integrated active antennas; monolithic microwave integrated circuits; low temperature co-fired ceramics; micro-electro-mechanical systems; RF; millimeter-waves.. He has authored or co-authored more than 60 technical papers in journals and conference proceedings and hold several patents. Dr. Amaya is a member of the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario.
