Stepan Lucyszyn is a British engineer, inventor and technologist. Since 2016 he has been Professor of Millimetre-wave Systems at Imperial College London. He is a Fellow of IEEE (2014) and a Fellow of the Royal Academy of Engineering (2023). His research spans monolithic microwave integrated circuits, RF MEMS, wireless power transfer, thermal infrared technologies known as THz Torch, and the use of 3D printing to advance microwave and terahertz devices.

Early in his career he worked in industry as a satellite systems engineer for maritime and military communications. He became a Chartered Engineer in 1994 and spent about 12 years researching RFICs/MMICs, co-editing RFIC and MMIC Design and Technology (2001). He has held visiting roles at Chinese universities including Tsinghua University and the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in Chengdu. His RF MEMS review (2004) won the IEE Premium Award in 2005, and he edited Advanced RF MEMS (2010).

Lucyszyn began working on millimetre-wave and terahertz technology in the 1990s. He earned a Doctor of Science from Imperial College London in 2010 for contributions to millimetre-wave and terahertz electronics and, in 2011, introduced the concept of the "over the THz horizon" THz Torch. In 2012 he co-founded Imperial’s Centre for Terahertz Science and Engineering, serving as co-director until 2019. More recently, his work focuses on additive manufacturing to create next-generation microwave, millimetre-wave and terahertz devices. In 2022 his team won Junkosha’s Technology Innovator of the Year Award for 3D printing in this field. He is also a co-founder of Drayson Wireless Ltd (2014), with patents in wireless power transfer, and has published extensively (over 200 papers and 12 book chapters).
