The ECE Department and the MRC Institute is proud to report that one of its soon-to-be 2007 PhD graduates in the electromagnetics research program, Mr. Ryan S. Adams, has recently accepted a tenure-track, Assistant Professor appointment in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of North Carolina, Charlotte (UNCC). UNCC is a peer institution with UI and according to UNCC’s web page, UNCC “comprises seven professional colleges and currently offers 17 doctoral programs, 59 master’s degree programs and 85 leading to bachelor’s degrees. More than 900 full-time faculty comprise the university’s academic departments and the 2006 fall enrollment exceeded 21,500 students.” After receiving two other academic job offers, Mr. Adams selected UNCC due to its strong track record in research and teaching, and its corresponding potential for growth. Mr. Adams plans to continue his research in ferrite microwave devices and to teach in the area of electromagnetics, antennas and high frequency devices. While working under the auspices of Prof. Jeffrey Young in the Applied Electromagnetic Waves Laboratory for the past four years, Mr. Adams has published numerous papers in his research field, filed one patent with the US Patent Office, received the Department’s Outstanding Graduate Student Award in 2006 and received the UI Alumni Award for Excellence in 2006.

The Applied Electromagnetic Waves Laboratory is currently seeking highly qualified students to apply for several funded research assistantships that are currently available. Students with exceptional GRA scores and high grade point averages from accredited engineering schools are especially encouraged to apply. Please contact Professor Jeffrey L. Young for more information.
