Zhewang Ma received the B. Eng. and M. Eng. degrees from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), Hefei, China, in 1986 and 1989, respectively. In 1995, he was granted the Dr. Eng. degree from the University of Electro-Communications, Tokyo, Japan.
He was a Research Assistant in 1996, in the Department of Electronic Engineering, the University of Electro-Communications, and became an Associate Professor there in 1997. From 1998 to 2008, he was an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Systems, Saitama University, Japan. He was promoted Professor of the same university in 2009.
From 1985 to 1989, he was engaged in research works on dielectric waveguides, resonators and leaky-wave antennas. From 1990 to 1997, he did studies on computational electromagnetics, analytical and numerical modeling of various microwave and millimeter wave transmission lines and circuits. His current research works are mainly on the development of microwave and millimeter-wave devices and circuits, measurements of dielectric materials and high temperature superconductors.
He received Japanese Government Graduate Scholarship from 1991 to 1993. He was granted the URSI Young Scientist Award in 1993. From 1994 to 1996, he was a Research Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS). He is a member of IEEE and a member of the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE) of Japan. He has served on the Editorial Board of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, Review Board of IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters, and Review Board of IEICE Transactions on Electronics, Japan. He was a member of the Steering Committee of 2002 Asia Pacific Microwave Conference (APMC2002), and a member of both the Steering Committee and Technical Committee of APMC2006.
