Laszlo Solymar is Emeritus Professor of Applied Electromagnetism at the University of Oxford and Visiting Professor and Senior Research Fellow at Imperial College, London. He graduated from the Technical University of Budapest in 1952 and received the equivalent of a PhD in 1956 from the Hungarian Academy of Sciences. In 1956, he settled in England where he worked first in industry and later at the University of Oxford. He conducted research on antennas, microwaves, superconductors, holographic gratings, photorefractive materials, and metamaterials. He has held visiting professorships at the Universities of Paris, Copenhagen, Osnabruck, Berlin, Madrid, Budapest, and since 2000 Imperial College, London. He has published 8 books and over 250 papers. He has been a Fellow of the Royal Society since 1995, and re received the Faraday Medal of the Institution of Electrical Engineers in 1992.
The late Donald Walsh was an Emeritus fellow of Oriel College, Oxford. He first worked for seven years at the Mullard Radio Valve Co, developing photo cells and flash tubes, then for about the same period at the Services Electronics Research Labs (SERL) on travelling wave tubes, klystrons and TR switches. He came to the Department of Engineering Science, Oxford in 1956 as a research fellow to help the newly appointed Reader in Electrical Engineering start a research group in microwave electronics, and later became a lecturer and college fellow.
Richard R. A. Syms has been Head of the Optical and
Semiconductor Devices Group in the EEE Department, Imperial College
London, since 1992 and Professor of Microsystems Technology since
1996. He graduated in Engineering Science at Oxford University in
1979, and obtained a DPhil in 1982, also from Oxford. He carried
out postgraduate work at University College London, Oxford
University, and the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory before moving to
Imperial. He has published around 180 journal papers, 100
conference papers and 2 books on holography, guided wave optics,
electromagnetic theory, metamaterials, magnetic resonance imaging,
and micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMS), and has 18 granted
patents. In 2001, he co-founded the Imperial College spin-out
company Microsaic Systems. He is an Associate Editor for the
Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems. He is a Fellow of the
Royal Academy of Engineering, the Institute of Physics, and the
Institute of Electrical Engineers.
Reviews from the previous edition
"This book is a delight! It is impossible to read it without a
smile coming to your lips every few pages. It is a new edition of a
well-known undergraduate text, intended for students of electrical
engineering, but I am sure any physics student could benefit from
reading it ... It is an excellent educational book, and I am sure
that it will achieve the aim of the authors, which is to instill a
sense of quantum mechanical reasoning into all its readers." --
High Temperatures - High Pressures
"An informal and highly accessible writing style, a simple
treatment of mathematics, and a clear guide to applications have
made this book a classic text in electrical and electronic
engineering. Students will find it both readable and
comprehensive." -- European Journal of Engineering Education
