Christian Person was awarded a doctorate in electronics from Université de Brest in 1994. Since 1991, he has been assistant professor in the Microwave Department of Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications de Bretagne in Brest, France. In 2003, he became professor at Institut Télécom / Télécom Bretagne (now IMT Atlantique) where he currently undertakes research in the Information and Communication Science and Technology Laboratory (lab-STICC).
He contributes to the development of new technologies for hyper frequency and millimeter-wave applications. His work focuses especially on the design of passive functions (filters, couplers) and antennas, providing original solutions in terms of synthesis process, optimization analysis procedures, as well as technological implementation (foam, plastic, LTCC, etc.).
His research areas also include silicon-based RF front-ends, currently contributing to a range of French and European research programs on SoC / SiP antennas and reconfigurable structures for smart systems.
