Background

About Jan Stake

Jan Stake is a professor in Terahertz Electronics at the Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience. He was born in Uddevalla, Sweden, in 1971 and received the degrees of MSc in electrical engineering and PhD in microwave electronics from the Chalmers University of Technology in 1994 and respectively. His research interests include high-frequency semiconductor devices, terahertz electronics, submillimeter wave measurement techniques, and terahertz systems. In 1997, he was a Research Assistant at the University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA. From to 2001, he was a Research Fellow with the Millimetre Wave Group at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Didcot, UK. He then joined Saab Combitech Systems AB, Gothenburg, Sweden, as a Senior RF/microwave Engineer until 2003. From to 2006, he held different academic positions with the Chalmers University of Technology, and from 2003 to 2006, he was also the Head of the Nanofabrication Laboratory, Department of Microtechnology and Nanoscience (MC2). In 2006, he was appointed Professor and the Head of the Terahertz and Millimetre Wave Laboratory at the Chalmers University of Technology. He was a Visiting Professor with the Submillimeter Wave Advanced Technology (SWAT) Group at Caltech/JPL, Pasadena, CA, USA, in 2007 and at TU Delft, the Netherlands, in 2020. He is also the co-founder of Wasa Millimeter Wave AB, Gothenburg, Sweden. Prof. Stake was the Editor-in-Chief for the Transactions on Terahertz Science and Technology between 2016 and 2018. He teaches semiconductor device physics and microwave engineering in different courses at Chalmers.
