Abstract
Julien Perruisseau-Carrier (1979-2014) was a prolific researcher and scholar in the area of reconfigurable antennas, MEMS, reflectarrays, and emerging terahertz devices. Tragically, he passed away suddenly in June 2014, at the very young age of 34. Julien was a very active member of the EurAAP, IEEE APS and URSI communities, and also involved in many European projects with COST, ESA, and others. He was an associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation; a regular contributor to EuCAP and IEEE AP-S; and was the Swiss representative for URSI B. Julien was an assistant professor at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in Switzerland. This memorial will bring special attention to his life and scientific accomplishments. With the help of all contributors we hope to create a unique and memorable workshop commemorating the life of a great researcher, colleague, mentor, and friend.
