I was really delighted to see Dr. Akyurtlu in this video. My MSc thesis was based on her amazing work on chiral material modeling in FDTD.

I really enjoyed watching this interview.

I really enjoyed watching this interview.

I really enjoyed watching this interview. It taks a special talent for a scientist to take lay people along such a complex trajectory and not let them get lost. Such a pleasant personally, too, obviously proud of his outstanding achievements, yet without a hint of arrogance. I'm definitely enjoying my expanded vocabulary -- metamaterials, genetic algorithm, optimized electromagnetic antennas, frozen bees...and so forth.

Antenna Theory Analysis and Design is one of the two (the other being Microwave Engineering by Pozar) most important RF/Microwave Engineering books in existence!

Felling very good to see Dr.Balanis . very interesting

Dear Georgio, It was so lovely to see this chat. Of course I have fond memories of our interactions over the years, and I so much appreciate your spirit, your life wisdom as well as your enthusiasm for electromagnetics. Thanks so much. I hope to catch up with you again soon (Glasgow 2024?). Sorry I misses you at EuCap last year in Florence. Best wishes, David

So glad to see my committee prof. Dr. Balanis on KZbin! !

Way to go, Yaha. Good interview, great life story, and wonderful anecdotes...

Truly a legend and another iranian in the forfront of science. We should be proud of Prof. YRS and all he has accomplished, most importantly, training generations of experts in electromagnetics.

Prof Rahmat-Samii back in 2011 where I after reading his paper got interested in fractal antennae.. A true legend!

Thank God for raising these people and enlightening the tech world

Thank you, it is so nice to learn about the life of someone whose book I have used for so many years. I've been using my Balanis Antenna theory book since graduate school in the mid-1990s including referencing it recently in a project.

An analytical interview in which a huge scientific and research project is described in the form of a biography. It is an honor and inspiration for all of us the life and work of scientists of such scope. Ευχαριστούμε!

His work will continue to propagate and improve lives, but his kindness had an equally profound effect on me.

Balanis work will remain vibrant and popular among undergraduate students and academics every now and then. Thanking you for your contribution.

This is a great idea and initiative! He is one of the greatest. Can't wait to see more like this!

This is a great initiative from IEEE APS on story telling of the Legends in the field of Electromagnetic and Antennas. These series will inspire many curious students to pursue a career in the field of Electromagnetics.

Young people need to be encouraged and inspired. Schools are not doing enough - in general- to excite children on STEM topics. They're preoccupied ticking boxes. Parents in general, don't do enough to encourage their children. Those who do, have children who grow up to be fascinated with the sciences and get into engineering. This was a wonderful interview, thanks!

It was a proud to be your student, prof Balanis.

Μπράβο. Great storytelling.

Hats off to you, Professor CA Balanis ! I salute you !

Excellent interview. Hopefully it will inspire more young people to consider STEM careers. Congratulations Kosta
