About
Hi! I’m Haihan Sun, an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. My research interests lie in applied electromagnetics, with a particular emphasis on two main areas: intelligent microwave sensing and non-destructive testing technologies and antenna systems for wireless communications .
