Simon B. Adrian (Senior Member, IEEE) received the B.Sc. degree in electrical engineering and information technology from Technische Universität München (TUM), Munich, Germany, in 2009, the M.S. degree in electrical and computer engineering from Georgia Institute of Technology, Atlanta, GA, USA, in 2010, the Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.) degree in electrical engineering and information technology from TUM in 2012, and the joint Doktor-Ingenieur (Dr.-Ing.) degree from TUM and the École nationale supérieure Mines-Télécom Atlantique Bretagne Pays de la Loire (IMT Atlantique), Brest, France, in 2018.
From 2012 to 2019, he was a Research Assistant with TUM. In 2018, he was a Visiting Professor with Politecnico di Torino, Turin, Italy. From 2019 to 2020, he was a Senior Engineer with Infineon AG, Neubiberg, Germany. From 2020 to 2024, he was an Assistant Professor with Universität Rostock, Rostock, Germany, and since 2024, he has been a Full Professor. His research interests include computational electromagnetics, focusing on integral equation solvers. In particular, he is interested in preconditioning techniques, low-frequency stable formulations, and fast solvers. Areas of application include antenna modeling and bioelectromagnetic problems.
Dr. Adrian has been a member of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Education Committee since 2016, where he has been the Chair of the Student Activities Subcommittee since 2021. He has been a member of the Union Radio-Scientifique Internationale (URSI) since 2018 and a URSI Senior Member since 2023. He was awarded the Kurt-Fischer-Preis 2012 for his diploma thesis. His contribution to the student paper competition at IEEE APS/URSI Symposium in 2013 was selected as an Honorable Mention Paper. He received the Second Prize in the Third International URSI Student Prize Paper Competition of URSI General Assembly and Scientific Symposium 2014, the Best Young-Scientist-Paper Award of the Kleinheubacher Tagung 2014, the Third Prize Student Paper Award of IEEE APS/URSI Symposium 2015, the First Prize EMTS 2016 Young Scientist Best Paper Award of URSI International Symposium on Electromagnetic Theory 2016, the Third Prize Student Paper Award of IEEE APS/URSI Symposium 2018, and the Dr.-Georg-Spinner-Hochfrequenz-Preis for the doctoral thesis in 2018. Moreover, he co-authored with his students and collaborators five Honorable Mention Conference Papers (URSI/IEEE–APS 2021, two in URSI/IEEE–APS 2022, and URSI/IEEE–APS 2023) and three Finalist Conference Papers (URSI AT-AP-RASC 2022, EuCAP 2023, and ICEAA 2024), and received the IEEE APWC-ICEAA Award 2022, the Young Scientist Best Paper Award of the Kleinheubacher Tagung 2024, and the 2nd prize of the Karl-Jörg Langenberg Award. He is a Laureate of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Pre-Doctoral Research Award and the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Doctoral Research Award. He has been an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation since 2020 and IEEE Antennas and Propagation Magazine since 2021. He was one of the Outstanding Associate Editors 2025 of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation.
