I am the advisor for the Bucknell University Electrical Engineering Class of 2027.

If you are one of my advisees and you have questions about registration or any other issue, I would be happy to talk with you. The best way to reach me is via e-mail.

Advising for Spring 2025 Registration

Advising Week will take place October 28–November 1, 2024.

During the preceding week, I will ask my advisees to schedule a short meeting with me to take place during Advising Week. The purpose of the meetings is to help advisees plan their course schedules for the next semester.

The link below accesses a frequently updated spreadsheet that shows the times during which I am available for advising appointments. If you are one of my advisees, please select a time that is convenient for you and notify me by e-mail. Appointments are scheduled on a first-to-request, first-served basis.

Registration Times for Spring 2025 Courses

As shown in the table below, there are four registration time slots per class year based on students' last names. (All times are in Eastern Time.) Your registration PIN (personal identification number) is active from the indicated start time until the end of the registration period at 11:59 pm ET on Thursday, November 14, 2024. If you have a class during your assigned time, you may register immediately following the class. You should not miss class to complete registration. I will give you your PIN during your advising meeting with me.

Research Interests

I am always looking for motivated students with strong math skills interested in the following areas of research:

• Parasitic array antennas
• Reconfigurable antennas
• Reactance-controlled array antennas
• Yagi-Uda array antennas
• Phased array antennas (active and parasitic)
• General antenna analysis and design
• Evolutionary optimization methods, especially particle swarm optimization
• Computational electromagnetics, especially the FDTD method
