PhD candidate
Ali Foudazi
I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees both in Electrical Engineering from Shahed University, Tehran, Iran, in 2009 and 2012 respectively. I was a Visiting Post-Graduate Student with the Radar Remote Sensing Group, University of Cape Town, Cape Town, South Africa, during Spring 2011.
I am currently pursuing my Ph.D. degree with the Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T), Rolla, MO, USA. I am affiliated with the Applied Microwave Nondestructive Testing Laboratory (amntl), Missouri S&T, since August 2013.
My honors and awards include the 2015 Graduate Fellowship IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society, the 2015 Graduate Fellowship ASNT, the 2016 IEEE EMC Student Hardware Design Competition, and Finalist for the 2017 IEEE APS Student Design Competition.
My research interests involve the broad areas of applied electromagnetics, antennas, imaging, signal integrity, EMC/ESD, material characterization. I have authored and co-authored more than 35 scientific articles which have received over 240 citations in the past four years.

I proposed patch antenna orthogonally fed through a coupling aperture, made by a substrate integrated waveguide (SIW) line at millimeter wave frequencies. The proposed design is utilized for the one-sided imaging system at amntl.
Nondestructive testing of rehabilitated cement-based materials with CFRP composites is quite important in the transportation and infrastructure industries. Among various NDT methods, active microwave thermography (AMT) has shown good potential.
