He has held short visiting professorships at Chalmers Univ. of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden, Ecole Normale Superieur, Paris, France, and Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. His research interests include applying micromachining techniques and microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) for the development of novel components and sub-systems for radars and wireless systems. He is also interested in Si/GaAs RFIC design for receiver applications, and in the development of planar antennas and microwave/millimeter-wave front-end electronics for communication systems, automotive collision-avoidance sensors, monopulse tracking systems and phased arrays.

Prof. Rebeiz was the recipient of the National Science Foundation Presidential Young Investigator Award in April 1991 and the URSI International Isaac Koga Gold Medal Award for Outstanding International Research in August 1993. He also received the Research Excellence Award in April 1995 from the University of Michigan. Together with his students, he is the winner of best student paper awards at IEEE-MTT (99-94,92), and IEEE-AP (95, 92) and received the JINA'90 best paper award. Prof. Rebeiz received the University of Michigan EECS Department Teaching Award in October 1997, and was selected by the students as the 1997-1998 Eta-Kappa-Nu EECS Professor of the Year. In June 1998, he received the College of Engineering Teaching Award. In October 1998, he received the Amoco Foundation Teaching Award, given yearly to one faculty at the University of Michigan, for excellence in undergraduate teaching. Prof. Rebeiz is the co-recipient (with Scott Barker) of the IEEE 2000 Microwave Prize.
