Biography

Stuart G. Hay received the B.E and Ph.D in Electrical Engineering from the University of Queensland in 1985 and 1994 respectively. From 1986 to 1989 and since 1994 he has been with CSIRO where he is currently a Principal Research Scientist. He has various interests in electromagnetics and antennas, including analysis and design techniques for reflectors and feeds, antenna arrays, impulse antennas, shaped-beam, multi-beam and beam-scanning antennas. He is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation.
