David E. Liddle Research Excellence Award, College of Engineering, University of Michigan, March 2022.
A. Grbic, Finalist, IET A.F. Harvey Prize (IET’s most valuable prize fund), 2021.
A. Grbic, Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Distinguished Microwave Lecturer (DML), Jan. 2022 – Jan. 2025. Grbic’s DML is entitled “Extreme Field Control with Electromagnetic Metasurfaces”. DMLs are internationally recognized experts and technical leaders in their fields within the Society. The DMLs present talks to local chapters world-wide and serve as ambassadors for the MTT-S. They travel to MTT-S Chapters or Joint Chapters with other IEEE Societies, Student Chapters, and IEEE Sections to present a nominally 1-hour technical lecture on the DML’s technical topic, and also present material that promotes the MTT-S at each talk.
