Jonathan Lees became a chartered Engineer in 1999 and obtained MSc. and PhD. degrees from Cardiff University in 2002 and 2006 respectively. He is currently employed as a Lecturer in Non-Linear Microwave Characterisation within Cardiff University’s centre for High Frequency Engineering where his key research areas are linear-efficient PA design and characterisation with a specific interest in the design and optimisation of High-Efficiency Power Amplifiers. His work in this area culminated in the first published GaN Doherty amplifier, and his more recent activities consider the development of novel high-power, broad-band time-domain measurement and load-pull techniques that directly address the current and future needs of modern communication systems. Development of non-linear time-domain and load-pull microwave measurement systems. Current research activities include investigation into RF properties of materials, microwave heating and novel applications of microwave engineering.Electrical & Electronic Engineering

Bywgraffiad
Dechreuais fy ngyrfa ym 1998 gan ddatblygu datrysiadau olrhain lleoli optegol a GPS gyda QinetiQ, U.K. a daeth yn Beiriannydd Siartredig ym 1999. Derbyniais fy ngraddau MSc. a PhD. o Brifysgol Caerdydd yn 2002 a 2006 yn y drefn honno ac ymunais â'r Ganolfan Peirianneg Amledd Uchel (CHFE) fel Cydymaith Ymchwil ym mis Mehefin 2005. Deuthum yn Ddarlithydd yn 2011 ac yna yn 2016, Uwch Ddarlithydd mewn Nodweddu Microdon Aflinol. Rhwng 2009 a 2010, cefais fy secondio i Mesuro fel Uwch Beiriannydd Caledwedd.
