Edward Joseph Rothwell III[1] (born 1957 in Grand Rapids, Michigan) is an American electrical engineer and Professor Emeritus at Michigan State University. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for his contributions to electromagnetics, particularly in antenna design and electromagnetic scattering.[2]
Education and career
Rothwell received an A.S. from Grand Rapids Community College in 1977, a B.S. in electrical engineering from Michigan Technological University in 1979, an M.S. in electrical engineering from Stanford University in 1980, an Engineer's degree from Stanford in 1982, and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Michigan State University (MSU) in 1985 under Kun-Mu Chen.[2][3]
Before joining MSU, Rothwell worked at Raytheon from 1979 to 1982 on low power traveling-wave tubes and at MIT Lincoln Laboratory in 1985.[2] He joined Michigan State University as an assistant professor in 1985, became an associate professor in 1990, and a full professor in 1998.[2] He currently holds the Dennis P. Nyquist Professorship in Electromagnetics and is Professor Emeritus.[4][3]
Rothwell is a member of the Electromagnetics Research Group at MSU and conducts research in antennas, electromagnetic scattering, radar target identification, electromagnetic theory, and electromagnetic measurements.[2]
