Speaker's Bio
Rui Ma received his Dr.-Ing. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Kassel, Kassel, Germany, in 2009. From 2007-to 2010, he was with the Microwave Electronics Labs at the University of Kassel as a Research Scientist working on transistor modeling and RF power amplifier design. From 2010-to 2012, he was a Senior Research Engineer with Nokia Siemens Networks, where he focused on the R&D of enabling power amplifier technologies for wideband radio at NSN Research Center in Beijing, China.
From 2012 to 2022, he was with Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories in Cambridge, USA, where he was a Senior Principal Scientist of RF Research, responsible for technologies focused on power amplifiers, digital transmitters, 5G radio, as well as emerging applications of GaN. In 2013, he received the specification award by MIPI Alliance for the development of Analog Reference Interface (ACI) for Envelope Tracking eTrak specification. In 2019, he was awarded Mitsubishi Electric President Award for his contributions to GaNdevelopment and its RF applications.
In July 2022, Dr. Ma joined pSemi, A Murata Company, where he is currently a Director of mmWave PA Systems.
Dr. Ma is a senior member of IEEE and inventor or co-inventor for more than 25 U.S. patents and patent applications on RF-related topics. He serives MTT-S AdCom Committee since 2016. He is MTT Boston Chapter Chair since April 2018. Dr. Ma has also been a Visiting Scientist with THz Integrated Electronics Group at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) from 2016 to 2021. He is an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques, and Associate Editor of IEEE Journal of Electromagnetics, RF and Microwaves in Medicine and Biology.
