John L. Volakis is a native of Greece and immigrated to the United States when 18 years old. He obtained his Ph.D. from the Ohio State University in 1982, and after a short term (1982-84) at Rockwell International (now Boeing Phantom Works), he was appointed Assistant Professor at the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor, Michigan), becoming a Professor in 1994. Since January 2003 he is the Roy and Lois Chope Chair Professor of Engineering at the Ohio State University, Columbus, Ohio and also serves as the Director of the ElectroScience Laboratory. Prof. Volakis has published 230 refereed journal articles, nearly 350 conference papers and 10 book chapters. He co-authored 2 other books: Approximate Boundary Conditions in Electromagnetics (Institution of Electrical Engineers, London, 1995), Finite Element Method for Electromagnetics (IEEE Press, New York, 1998). In recent years, he has been listed by ISI as one among the most referenced authors in computer science/engineering. He graduated/mentored nearly 50 Ph.D. students/post-docs, and co-authored with them 5 best paper awards at conferences. Dr. Volakis is a Fellow of the IEEE, and served as the 2004 President of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society. He was Associate Editor for several journals and was twice the general chair/co-chair of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation conference.
