Biography

Professor Clive Parini FREng.  received the BSc(Eng) degree (1973) and PhD (1976) from Queen Mary College, University of London. He then joined ERA Technology Ltd (UK) working on the design of microwave feeds and offset reflector antennas.  In 1977 he returned to Queen Mary College and is currently Professor of Antenna Engineering and heads the Antenna & Electromagnetics Research Group. He has published over 300 papers on research topics including array mutual coupling, array beam forming, antenna metrology, microstrip antennas, millimetrewave compact antenna test ranges, millimetrewave integrated antennas, metamaterials and on-body communications. In January 1990 he was one of three co-workers to receive the IEE Measurements Prize for work on near field reflector metrology. In 2002, along with several co-workers, he was awarded the BAE SYSTEMS Chairman’s Bronze Award for Innovation for work on microwave near-field metrology.  In 2008 he published the book entitled “Principles of Planar Near-Field Antenna Measurements” with co-authors Stuart Gregson (Nearfield Systems Incorporated) and John McCormick (SELEX SAS).

He is a Fellow of the IET and a member and past Chairman of the IET Antennas & Propagation Professional Network Executive Team.  He is a member of the editorial board and past Honorary Editor for the IET Journal Microwaves, Antennas & Propagation. In 2009 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering.  He is currently the Director of Research for the School of Electronic Engineering & Computer Science.
