Leopold B. Felsen

Leopold B. Felsen[1] (May 7, 1924 in Munich[2] – September 24, 2005 in Boston[3]) was an electrical engineer and physicist known for studies of electromagnetism and wave-based disciplines. He had to flee Germany at 16 due to the Nazis.[4] He has fundamental contributions to applied electromagnetic field analysis.

Academic life

He received his bachelor, master, and PhD degrees from the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn, in 1948, 1950, and 1952, respectively, all in electrical engineering.[2] After his educations he became professor at Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn[5] and at Boston University College of Engineering, an IEEE life fellow and a fellow of both the Acoustical Society of America and the Optical Society of America.[2]

In 1973 he coauthored with Nathan Marcuvitz a textbook titled Radiation and Scattering of Waves which published by Prentice Hall in its Electrical Engineering Series. This was a classic worldwide textbook which immediately became widely used by researchers[6] and has been described as "The Bible" in applied electromagnetism.[7] In 1994 IEEE reissued Radiation and Scattering of Waves as one of its classic reissues in the collection of The IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory.[8]

Awards

In 1991 he won the IEEE Heinrich Hertz Medal.[9][10]
