Dr. Mumcu is Professor of Electrical Engineering at University of South Florida. He recieved the 2014 CAREER award from the National Science Foundation and 2014 faculty outstanding research award from the University of South Florida. He ranked first on the national university entrance exam taken annually by over 1.5 million Turkish students in 1999. He has served as the technical program committee chair of the IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC/URSI National Radio Science Meeting in 2013, IEEE International Workshop on Antenna Technology in 2016, and IEEE Wireless and Microwave Technology Conference (WAMICON) in 2022. He served and general vice chair and general chair for WAMICON 2023 and 2024. His research work has been funded by multiple federal agencies and industry exceeding $7.5M. He has more than 130 peer-reviewed journal and conference papers/presentations. He holds 13 US patents.

Since joining USF in 2009, Dr. Mumcu advised 13 Ph.D. students and 6 MS with thesis students. His main research interests are in:

• Additive manufacturing of structural antennas and antenna arrays.
• IC integration and advanced packaging with additive manufaturing to enable active mm-wave beam steering antenna arrays and structural RF electronics.
• Novel RF/antenna hardware architectures for wireless system spectrum and energy efficiency.
• Addive manufacturing applications towards wireless system security in physical layer and digital domain.
• Reconfigurable antennas and RF circuits.
• New concepts (e.g. metamaterials, volumetric 3D reactive loading, polymers) for designing conformal, miniature and multifunctional antennas.
• Compact arrays of miniature antennas for anti-jam GPS, GNSS, and THz imaging applications.
• Microfluidics based techniques for implementing cost-effective beam-scanning mm-wave antenna arrays, high power handling frequency tunable RF filters, mm-wave switches and phase shifters.
