Terahertz Pioneers: A Series of Interviews With Significant Contributors to Terahertz Science and Technology

As a tribute to individuals who have contributed significantly, and over many years, to the terahertz community, and as a guide and inspiration for those who are just beginning their professional association with this field of study, these transactions have included, on a regular basis, a series of biographical interviews with technical researchers who have appreciably impacted the THz community in a positive manner. In order to go beyond a strict technical review and to take better advantage of the information and commentary only available through a direct discussion, these articles take on a less formal style than the research articles that can be found within the remaining pages of the transactions. This month´s feature is on Professor Tatsuo Itoh of UCLA who, with more than 230 Transactions articles to date and another 200 journal articles, 860 refereed conference papers, 48 book chapters, 76 Ph.D. students and 12,000 citations, has undoubtedly exerted an influence that extends into almost every corner of microwave engineering - including into the THz regime.
