Biography
Josep Miquel Jornet is a COE Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University, where he is also Associate Dean of Research in the College of Engineering, Associate Director of the Institute for Intelligent Networked Systems, and Director of the Ultrabroadband Nanonetworking Laboratory. He received an Engineering Degree in Telecommunication Engineering and an M.S. in Information and Communication Technologies from the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya in 2008, and a Ph.D. in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2013. He was on the faculty of the University at Buffalo from 2013 to 2019.
Since 2009 he has worked on wireless communications above 100 GHz, from graphene plasmonic nano-antennas and channel models to real-time testbeds, space links, intra-body networks, spectrum policy and standards. He has co-authored more than 350 peer-reviewed publications and holds seven U.S. patents, with an eighth allowed, and he co-founded Teradio, which develops sub-terahertz wireless interconnects for AI data centers. He is an IEEE Fellow, received the NSF CAREER Award, and was Editor-in-Chief of Elsevier Nano Communication Networks from 2016 to 2026.
