Dejan S. Filipovic received a Dipl. Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Nis, Nis, Serbia in 1994, and M.S.E.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor in 1999 and 2002, respectively. From 1994 to 1997, he was a Research Assistant with the School of Electrical Engineering, University of Nis. From 1997 to 2002, he was a Graduate Student Research Assistant with the University of Michigan at Ann Arbor. He is currently an Assistant Professor with the University of Colorado at Boulder. His research interests are in modeling and design of passive millimeter-wave components for future RF systems, antenna theory and design, as well as computational and applied electromagnetics. He is the principal investigator on a DARPA MTO funded, BAE Systems led 3d-MicroElectromechanical RF Systems (3d-MERFS) program, during which he has advised 4 graduate students, and, with Prof. Z. Popovic, co-advised one graduate student research assistant.
Mr. Filipovic was the recipient of the prestigious Nikola Tesla Award for his outstanding graduation thesis. He and his students were co recipients of the Best Paper Award presented at the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S)/ URSI and Antenna Application Symposium conferences.

Ken Vanhille received a B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Utah State University, Logan, in 2002, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2005 and 2007, respectively. From 2000 to 2003, he was with the Space Dynamics Laboratory, Logan, UT, where he designed space science instrumentation for sounding rocket campaigns. In 2002, he was a member of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Academy, Goddard Space Flight Center. From 2004 to 2007 he was a graduate research assistant at the University of Colorado. Ken is currently a Senior Engineer at Rohm and Haas Electronic Materials LLC, Blacksburg, VA. He is a member of the IEEE and Tau Beta Pi. His current professional interests include millimeter-wave component and system design and wafer-level packaging of high-data-rate optoelectronic systems.
