He graduated from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne, Switzerland, where he received a Diploma of electrical engineering in telecommunications in 1995 and a Doctor of Philosophy in electromagnetics (photonic crystals) in 2000.
From 2001 to 2004, he was a Postdoctoral Engineer at the Microwave Electronics Laboratory of University of California at Los Angeles, before joining the École Polytechnique de Montréal as the Canada Chair in radio-frequency metamaterials. Caloz has done pioneering contributions to the field of electromagnetic metamaterials and smart antennas over the past decade. His most recent advances in these areas include magnetless non-reciprocal metamaterials and electronically steered leaky-wave antennas for enhanced Wifi Multiple-input and multiple-output systems
In the past few years, he discovered giant Faraday rotation in graphene and subsequently demonstrated novel microwave and terahertz devices.
Moreover, he introduced the paradigm of Radio Analog Signal Processing (R-Association of Software Professionals), based novel dispersive delay structures that he called "phasers", which bear great promise to next-generation wireless communication systems
Caloz received several awards, including the University of California, Los Angeles Chancellor’s Award for Post-doctoral in 2004, the MTT-South Outstanding Young Engineer Award in 2007, the E.W.R. Steacie Memorial Fellowship in 2013, and many best paper awards with his students. He has been an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Fellow since 2010. He is also in Thomson Reuters" list of Highly Cited ers, which is composed of the 3,200 most influential scientists of the world in all disciplines.
