詳細信息
Weng Cho Chew (S’79–M’80–SM’86–F’93) was born in Malaysia,on June 9, 1953. He received the B.S.e, the M.S. and Engineer, and the Ph.D.degrees, all in electrical engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, in 1976, 1978,1978, and 1980, respectively. From 1981 to 1985, he was with Schlumberger-Doll Research, Ridgefield, CT, first as a Program Leader and then as a Department Manager. From1985 to 1990, he was an Associate Professor with the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, and he is currently a Professor teaching graduate courses in Waves and Fields in Inhomogeneous Media and Theory of Microwave and Optical Waveguides,and also supervises a graduate research program. From 1989 to 1993, he was the Associate Director of the Advanced Construction Technology Center University ofIllinois. Presently, he is the Director of the Center for Computational Electromagnetics and the Electromagnetics Laboratory, also at the University of Illinois. He is author of Fast and Efficient Algorithms in Computational Electromagnetics and Waves and Fields in Inhomogeneous Media, has published over 190 scientific journal articles and presented over 200 conference papers. His research interests include wave propagation,scattering, inverse scattering, and fast algorithms related to scattering, inhomogeneous media for geophysical subsurface sensing and nondestructive testing applications.
Dr. Chew is a member of Eta Kappa Nu, Tan Beta Pi, URSJ Commissions B and F, and the Society of Exploration Geophysics. In 1986, he was an NSF Presidential Young Investigator. He was an AdCom Member with the IEEE Geoscience and Remote Sensing Society, and has been an Associate Editor of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS OF GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE Sensingsince 1984, of the Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications since1996, and of Microwave Optical Technology Letters since 1996. He was an Associate Editor of the International Journal of Imaging Systems andTechnology from 1989 to 1994, a Guest Editor of Radio Science in 1986, of the International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology in 1989,and of Electromagnetics in 1995. His name has been listed many times inthe List of Excellent Instructors on campus.
