Susan Hagness, the Philip Dunham Reed Professor and chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, has been honored with the 2026 Distinguished Achievement Award from the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. This recognition is for her pioneering innovations in microwave diagnostics, imaging, and therapeutic technologies, as well as her foundational contributions to time-domain computational electromagnetics. Her research primarily focuses on the electromagnetic interactions with tissue for medical applications, leading to advancements in non-ionizing sensing techniques and methods for minimally invasive tumor ablation. Hagness has graduated 30 Ph.D. students, published over 115 peer-reviewed papers, and is an inventor on 13 U.S. patents. The award will be presented at the 2026 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation in Detroit, Michigan in July 2026.
