Robert H. Caverly was born in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1954. He
received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from The
Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, MD, in 1983. He
received the M.S.E.E and B.S.E.E degrees from the North
Carolina State University, Raleigh, in 1978 and 1976,
respectively.
Dr. Caverly has been a faculty member at Villanova
University in the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering since 1997 and is a Full Professor. Previously,
he was employed for more than 14 years at the University of
Massachusetts Dartmouth (formerly Southeastern Massachusetts
University). In 1990, with support from The National Science
Foundation, he was a Visiting Research Fellow with the
Microwave Solid-State Group at the University of Leeds in
the United Kingdom. Dr. Caverly's research interests, funded
by several government agencies and private industry, are
focused on the characterization of semiconductor devices
such as PIN diodes and FETs in the microwave and RF control
environment. Besides microwave semiconductor electronics,
his other interests include analog and digital CMOS VLSI
design, an area where he has taught a number of workshops
both in this country and outside, as well as graduate and
undergraduate courses at the university. He has published
one book (CMOS RFIC Design Principles from Artech House) and
more than 80 journal and conference papers in these and
other areas. He is on the editorial board of the IEEE
Transactions of Microwave Theory and Techniques and a Senior
Member of the IEEE and is the chairperson (2010-2013) of
MTT-17, the HF-VHF-UHF Technology Technical Committee of the
Microwave Theory and Techniques Society of the IEEE. He is a
1987 recipient of the Dow Outstanding Young Faculty Award
from The American Society of Engineering Education and the
2007 recipient of the Fr. Farrell Award from the College of
Engineering at Villanova University. During his career, he
has been a consultant for a number of microwave industries
