Profile

Nutapong Somjit received the Dipl.-Ing. (MSc) degree from Dresden University of Technology in 2005 and the PhD degree from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 2012. He then returned to TU Dresden to lead a research team in micro-sensors and MEMS ICs for the Chair for Circuit Design and Network Theory. In 2013, he was appointed Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in the School of Electronic and Electrical Engineering, University of Leeds, where he is currently an Associate Professor. Since 2022, he has also served as an adjunct faculty member leading a research team in the Micro and Nanosystems Laboratory at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden. His main research focuses on integrated smart high-frequency components, sustainable micro- and nanosystems, and low-cost microfabrication processes.

Dr Somjit was the recipient of the Best Paper Award (EuMIC Prize) at European Microwave Week in 2009. He was awarded Graduate Fellowships from the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) in 2010 and 2011, and the IEEE Doctoral Research Award from the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society in 2012. He was appointed a member of the Engineering, Physical and Space Science Research Panel of the British Council in 2014 and chaired the Student Design Competition at European Microwave Week in 2016. His editorial service includes appointments as Associate Editor of IET Electronics Letters since 2018 and Associate Editor of the IEEE Sensors Journal since 2026.
