Graduate education is more important than ever in today’s knowledge-driven economy; it creates opportunities for next-generation research which is fundamental to economic growth and environmental sustainability. Appointed Dean of Graduate Studies in 2015, Langis Roy, PhD, is passionate about shaping the university’s graduate program portfolio to enhance collaborative research capabilities among students, faculty and industry. Formerly Carleton University’s Associate Dean of Planning in the Faculty of Graduate/Post-doctoral Affairs, Dr. Roy led strategic enrolment to achieve the Ottawa, Ontario institution’s highest domestic and international enrolment in 2014-2015. In that role, he developed and implemented Carleton's international Cotutelle Policy, which allows doctoral students to complete program requirements while jointly enrolled at two universities. During his 15-year tenure, he held appointments as an Associate Professor, Professor, and Chair in the Department of Electronics, while guiding the research success of nearly 50 graduate students, many of whom received prestigious awards. An international wireless technology expert, Dr. Roy applies sensing and communicating electronic devices to innovative component-level and system-level integrated solutions, particularly for the biomedical and aerospace industries. Equipped with a proven track record of collaborative and cross-disciplinary research work, he aims to improve current products and processes with embedded intelligence and enhanced functionality. Remarkably, Dr. Roy and his research team have developed the world’s first on-chip antennas using commercial CMOS silicon, and are global leaders in the in the development of system-on-package LTCC componentry for microwave and mm-wave wireless applications. His research has extended to THz biosensing and wireless power harvesting. Dr. Roy earned his Bachelor of Applied Science in Electrical Engineering at the University of Waterloo, Ontario in 1987; and obtained both his Master of Engineering and his Doctorate in Engineering from Carleton University in Ottawa in 1989 and 1993, respectively. He completed a post-doctoral fellowship at Université de Toulouse in France and became an Assistant Professor at the University of Ottawa. An Invited Professor in Finland and France, Dr. Roy has established leading international research partnerships in wireless and sensing technologies.
