Applications of Neural Networks in Electromagnetics (Artech House Antennas and Propagation Library)

Christos Christodoulou received a B.Sc. degree in physics and math from the American University of Cairo in 1979, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from North Carolina State University, Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1981 and 1985, respectively. He served as a faculty member in the University of Central Florida, Orlando, from 1985 to 1998, where he received numerous teaching and research awards. In 1999, he joined the faculty of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department of the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque as a Chair. In 1991 he was selected as the AP/MTT Engineer of the Year (Orlando Section). He is a senior member of IEEE and a member of URSI (Commission B). He served as the general Chair of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society/URSI 1999 Symposium in Orlando, Florida. He is the co-chair of the IEEE 2000 Symposium on Antennas and Propagation for wireless communications, in Waltham, Massachusetts. He has published over 150 papers in journals and conferences. He also has two patents. He is currently the co-editor for a column on "Wireless Communications" for the IEEE AP Magazine. His research interests are in the areas of wireless communications, modeling of electromagnetic systems, smart antennas, neural network applications in electromagnetics, and MEMS antennas Michael Georgiopoulos received a diploma in electrical engineering from the National Technical University of Athens in 1981. He also received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Connecticut, Storrs, Connecticut, in 1983 and 1986, respectively. In 1987, he joined the University of Central Florida, where he is currently an associate professor in the School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Dr. Georgiopoulos has served as the Technical Program Chair of the 1996 Southcon conference, and he has also served as the program committee member and session chair of several international neural network conferences. He has been conducting research in neural networks and applications of neural networks for over 10 years, and he has published over 140 papers in journals, conferences, and books. Dr. Georgiopoulos has worked on a variety of research topics throughout his career, including communication networks, spread spectrum communications, neural networks and applications of neural networks in computer-generated forces modeling, smart antennas, pattern recognition and image processing, electromagnetics, computer vision, manufacturing, and remote sensing. Currently, Dr. Georgiopoulos's research emphasis is on neural network algorithms (with special emphasis on ART neural network architectures), design of smart antennas using neural networks, and modeling of computer generated forces using neural network and symbolic techniques. Dr. Georgiopoulos is a member of the IEEE, a member of the International Neural Network Society, and a member of the Technical Chamber of GreeceMichael Georgiopoulos is the author of 'Applications of Neural Networks in Electromagnetics (Artech House Antennas and Propagation Library)' with ISBN 9780890068809 and ISBN 0890068801.
