Frank B. Gross

Frank Gross is currently the Associate Dean for Research at Georgia Southern University. He left his previous position as Technical Fellow at Boeing to re-enter academia. He received his Ph.D. from Ohio State in the areas of radar scattering, target recognition, electromagnetics, and antennas. Frank's expertise lies in a variety of physics based disciplines including: electromagnetics, antennas, propagation, metamaterials, and array processing. Much of his industry work was focused on DARPA contracts including NSC and S-BUG. He has developed several varieties of space-based arrays and demonstrated their adaptive beamforming performance. In addition he developed a new AESA array thinning technique using Cantor ring fractal templates. He also invented a new metamaterial structure based upon complementary tilings which is in process for a patent. He is the author of the book on "Smart Antennas for Wireless Communications with Matlab", McGraw-Hill, 2005, the book on "Smart Antennas", McGraw-Hill, 2015, and was the Editor-in-Chief for the new book on "Frontiers in Antennas", McGraw-Hill, 2011. He was formerly an electrical engineering professor at the Florida State University for 18 years.
