Sebastian Celis Sierra
Biography
Sebastian Celis Sierra is a Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), where he develops advanced integral-equation solvers for the accurate simulation of electromagnetic metasurfaces. He holds an M.S. in Electrical Engineering (2018–2020) from KAUST and dual B.Eng. degrees in Electrical/Power Engineering and Electronics Engineering (2014–2018) from Universidad de los Andes, Bogotá.
Research Interests
Sebastian's research focuses on formulating and implementing surface and volume integral-equation methods in both the time and frequency domains to capture complex electromagnetic behavior in arbitrarily shaped metasurfaces. By coupling these formulations with generalized sheet transition conditions (GSTCs), he aims to achieve both numerical efficiency and physical fidelity. His work advances the theoretical foundations and practical computational tools necessary for the next generation of communication systems.
