Electrical engineering
Douglas Henry Werner[1] is an American scientist and engineer. He holds the John L. and Genevieve H. McCain Chair Professorship in the Penn State Department of Electrical Engineering and is the director of the
Penn State UniversityComputational Electromagnetics and Antennas Research Laboratory. Werner holds 20 patents[2] and has over 1090 publications.[3] He is the author/co-author of 8 books.[4] His h-index and number of citations are recorded on his
Google Scholar profile. He is internationally recognized for his expertise in electromagnetics, antenna design, optical metamaterials and metamaterial-enabled devices as well as for the development/application of inverse-design techniques.[5]
Biography
Douglas Werner received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in
electrical engineering and the M.A. degree in
mathematics from the
Pennsylvania State University (Penn State), University Park, PA in 1983, 1985, 1989, and 1986, respectively.[5] He joined the electrical engineering faculty at Penn State in 1998.[6] He is the director of the Penn State University Computational Electromagnetics and Antennas Research Laboratory. He is also a faculty member of the Materials Research Institute at Penn State.[7]
Werner's work has been regarded for its real-world applicability and has served to advance the state of the art in electromagnetics design.[9][10][11][12][13][14]
