Dr Mona Jarrahi has made groundbreaking contributions to utilising the untapped potentials of the electromagnetic spectrum in terahertz, millimeter-wave, and microwave ranges for a wide variety of ultrafast sensing, imaging, communication, and computing applications. Her research optimises the complementary functions of electronic and photonic devices to introduce a hybrid methodology for designing systems with operation frequencies beyond traditional transistor technologies. The international award’s £350,000 prize will be used to further Jarrahi’s research in developing key building block components of the next-generation terahertz optoelectronic systems so they can be integrated into one platform. Currently, these system components require different manufacturing methods, complex setups, and bulky housing in order for them to connect and work properly. Mona Jarrahi will present her research on Thursday, 17 March 2022 at an event hosted by the IET, with a Q&A session moderated by IET President, Sir Julian Young. The event will be available to watch on the IET’s YouTube channel. The IET A F Harvey Engineering Research Prize was established in 2011 and is awarded annually to a researcher in one of three engineering areas on a rotating basis: medical engineering, lasers and optoelectronics, and radar and microwaves, which is this year’s focus. The prize commemorates the late British electronic engineer Arthur Frank Harvey, whose gift to IET supports research in the aforementioned fields.
