Academic: Prof. Michael Jensen received the B.S. and M.S. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Brigham Young University in 1990 and 1991, respectively, and the Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles in 1994. Since 1994, he has been at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at BYU where he is currently a Professor and Department Chair. He teaches courses in electromagnetics, high-frequency circuit design, and signal processing for communications.

Research: Dr. Jensen's research focuses on characterizing propagation channels and designing antennas for wireless communications as well as the development of advanced signal processing techniques for robust and secure communications. His publications in these areas include 3 book chapters, 67 journal articles, and over 170 conference articles. As a result of his work, he has been awarded the H. A. Wheeler paper award in the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation in 2002 and the best student paper award at the 1994 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation. He was elevated to the grade of IEEE Fellow in 2008.

Professional: Dr. Jensen has been the Editor-in-Chief and an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation as well as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters and the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine. He has also served as member and chair of the Joint Meetings Committee for the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society, a member of the Administrative Committee for this same society, and has been Vice-Chair or Technical Program Chair for seven different symposia. He is the co-founder of two companies that continue to do business in Utah County.
