ATLANTA, GA, November 20, 2025 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Webert Montlouis, PhD, Fellow IEEE, has been included in Marquis Who's Who. As in all Marquis Who's Who biographical volumes, individuals profiled are selected on the basis of current reference value. Factors such as position, noteworthy accomplishments, visibility and prominence in a field are all taken into account during the selection process.

Dr. Montlouis is the founder and chief scientific officer of WEMSS Laboratory LLC, a role he has held since 2024. In this capacity, he is responsible for writing and submitting proposals directly to sponsors, guiding and assisting younger professionals, reviewing internal research and development proposals, and collaborating closely with program managers. His leadership at WEMSS Laboratory is marked by a commitment to fostering innovation and supporting the professional growth of emerging engineers and scientists.

Between 2016 and 2024, Dr. Montlouis served as the chief scientist at the Applied Physics Laboratory and was also a faculty member in the electrical and computer engineering department at Johns Hopkins University. Upon joining Johns Hopkins, he identified and revitalized a dormant project, collaborating with a program manager to secure government funding. This enterprise exemplified his proactive approach, as he consistently wrote his own proposals, envisioning and shaping research initiatives aligned with his interests.

During his tenure at Johns Hopkins, Dr. Montlouis proposed and developed a novel radar architecture capable of detecting and tracking a significantly greater number of special targets, representing a significant advancement over conventional methods. His innovation enabled the development of a specialized radar system architecture that delivered a tenfold improvement over previous approaches for the Department of Defense. Concurrently, he introduced advanced courses in electrical and computer engineering, furthering his impact on academic curricula and student development.

Earlier in his career, Dr. Montlouis contributed to Raytheon in system architecture and design. His doctoral research challenged traditional radar detection assumptions by accounting for object movement, enabling more accurate predictions of location, velocity, and acceleration. His research in antenna array signal processing and robust target location led to his recruitment by Raytheon, where he participated in defining proposals for bids and developing project concepts upon contract awards. Notably, he was nominated for a coveted position as the chief engineer for the National Missile Defense systems, where he would have overseen more than 50 scientists nationwide.

Integral to Dr. Montlouis's success in both industry and academia was the rigorous training and research experience gained during his studies, culminating in a Doctor of Philosophy degree in electrical and computer engineering from Northeastern University, which he earned in 2005. Reflecting on his career, he attributes his achievements to an open-minded approach and a commitment to kindness and respect in professional relationships, fostering collaboration and mutual support.

Underscoring Dr. Montlouis's leadership in the field are his professional affiliations. He is a fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and has served on the IEEE Fellow Committee. As the chair of the IEEE Massive MIMO standard development working group and co-chair of the Massive MIMO working group, he has been instrumental in shaping the future of wireless communication standards.

Beyond his technical and academic accomplishments, Dr. Montlouis is dedicated to civic engagement through his volunteer work with IEEE and his commitment to mentorship, highlighting his dedication to advancing the engineering profession and supporting the next generation of leaders. He has mentored numerous undergraduate and graduate students, many of whom have pursued advanced degrees at leading institutions such as Stanford University, Carnegie Mellon University, Northeastern University, and the University of Michigan.

Looking ahead, Dr. Montlouis aspires to remain active in academia and is committed to ensuring the continued success of his laboratory in addressing critical societal challenges. He considers witnessing his mentee's growth and success among his most rewarding accomplishments.
