Campione Receives IEEE Young Researcher Award

The Eta Kappa Nu honor society of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has awarded researcher Salvatore Campione at Sandia National Laboratories its 2016 Outstanding Young Professional Award.

A researcher of nanophotonics and metamaterials, with special expertise in periodic structures, leaky-wave antennas and electromagnetic theory, Campione was recognized by the society “for his contributions to the electromagnetic modeling of complex systems and structures from microwave to optical frequencies.”

Campione, who received his doctorate degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of California, Irvine, in December 2013, is listed as author or co-author in more than 50 peer-reviewed journal articles, two book chapters and 80 conference contributions, along with three provisional patents. He was selected as a 2013 Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar, a national recognition given to three researchers a year on the basis of academic achievements and leadership in the field of communications and information science.

The Outstanding Young Professional Award is presented to exceptional young engineering professionals for meritorious service in the interests of humankind, as well as for outstanding achievements in their career.
