Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Sara Ghayouraneh's research focuses on the design and analysis of microwave antennas, particularly choke horn and choke ring waveguide antennas. Her work involves modeling these antennas and developing machine learning algorithms for their characterization and optimization. Recent publications include studies on the radiation pattern optimization of double-choke and choke antennas, as well as the analysis and design of choke ring circular waveguide antennas using the geometrical theory of diffraction.

Ghayouraneh also investigates microwave heating systems, including a temperature-controlled microwave heating system and a temperature-controlled disinfection system that utilizes both microwave and plasma technologies. Her research in this area has explored the impact of specific factors, such as sodium chloride concentration, on microbial inactivation within microwave disinfection processes.

She has received funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for two awards totaling $99,990, serving as Co-PI on projects related to USA-Africa workshops on communication systems and microwave technologies. Ghayouraneh leads a research group and collaborates with several faculty members at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, with whom she shares multiple publications.
