UNIVERSITY OF MISSISSIPPI SCHOOLS AND COLLEGES


The Schools of Nursing and Pharmacy operate on both the Oxford and Jackson campuses. The Schools of Dentistry, Health Related Professionals and Medicine, and the Health Sciences Graduate School, are based in Jackson only. (Additional healthcare programs are available through the School of Applied Sciences on the Oxford campus.) Other than these exceptions, the schools above are on the Oxford campus.

Brief Bio

Dr. Atef Z. Elsherbeni is a Professor of Electrical Engineering and the associate dean of engineering for research and graduate programs. He is also the director of the Center of Applied Electromagnetic Systems Research (CAESR) and the director of the School of Engineering CAD at The University of Mississippi. In 2004 he was appointed as an adjunct Professor, at The Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science of the L.C. Smith College of Engineering and Computer Science at Syracuse University. In 2009 he was appointed as Finland Distinguished Professor by the Academy of Finland and Tekes. Dr. Elsherbeni has conducted research dealing with scattering and diffraction by dielectric and metal objects, finite difference time domain analysis of passive and active microwave devices including planar transmission lines, field visualization and software development for EM education, interactions of electromagnetic waves with human body, sensors development for monitoring soil moisture, airports noise levels, air quality including haze and humidity, reflector and printed antennas and antenna arrays for radars, UAV, and personal communication systems, antennas for wideband applications, antenna and material properties measurements, and hardware and software acceleration of computational techniques for electromagentics. Dr. Elsherbeni is the co-author of the book “The Finite Difference Time Domain Method for Electromagnetics With MATLAB Simulations”, SciTech 2009, the book“Antenna Design and Visualization Using Matlab”, SciTech, 2006, the book “MATLAB Simulations for Radar Systems Design”, CRC Press, 2003, the book “Electromagnetic ScatteringUsing the Iterative Multiregion Technique”, Morgan & Claypool, 2007, the book “Electromagnetics and Antenna Optimization using Taguchi's Method”, Morgan & Claypool, 2007, and the main author of the chapters “Handheld Antennas” and “The Finite Difference Time Domain Technique for Microstrip Antennas” in Handbook of Antennas in Wireless Communications, CRC Press, 2001. Dr. Elsherbeni is a Fellow member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and a fellow member of The Applied Computational Electromagnetic Society (ACES). He is the Editor-in-Chief for ACES Journal and a past Associate Editor to the Radio Science Journal.
