Prof. Patrick Reynaert has a team of researchers working on RF power amplifiers, polymer-microwave fibers and mm-wave and THz circuits for telecommunication and sensing. He also manages the 'IC-Lab' measurement laboratories of MICAS and is the Admissions Advisor for the Master EE at KU Leuven.
He currently serves as a member of the technical program committee of RFIC, PRIME and Benelux RF Conference, and has served on the TPC of ISSCC and ESSCIRC. He is currently Associate Editor for the IEEE Journal of Solid-State circuits, and has been associate editor of TCAS-II and Guest Editor of JSSC.
He has been supervisor of 20+ Ph.Ds, author of 19 ISSCC papers, 5 books, 80+ journal papers and 160+ conference papers. He is teaching worldwide on RF power amplifiers and mm-wave IC design in CMOS.
His research has led to the creation of two KU Leuven startups: Hammer-IMS in 2016 and Tusk-IC in 2018. He currently serves in the board of directors of both startups.
He received the 2013 and 2024 Bell Labs Prize for his research
