Biographical Sketch
Akira Ishimaru (M'58-SM'63-F'73) received the B.S. degree in 1951 from the University of Tokyo, Tokyo, Japan and the Ph.D degree in Electrical Engineering in 1958 from the University of Washington, Seattle. From 1951 to 1952 he was with the electrotechnical laboratory, Tanashi, Tokyo, and in 1956 he was with Bell Laboratories, Holmdel, New Jersey. In 1958 he joined tha faculty of the Department of Electrical Engineering of the University of Washington, where he is currently a professor of electrical engineering and adjunct professor of applied mathematics. He has also been a visiting associate professor at the University of California, Berkeley. His current research includes waves in random media, remote sensing, inverse problems, millimeter wave and optical propagation and scattering in the atmosphere and the terrain, acoustic scattering in the ocean, ultrasound imaging, and optical diffusion in tissues. He is the Author of the books, Waves Propagation and Scattering in Random Media(Academic Press, 1978) and Electromagnetic Wave Propagation, Radiation, and Scattering(Prentice Hall, 1991).
Dr. Ishimaru has served as a member-at-large of the U.S. National Committee (USNC) and was chairman (1985-87) of Commission B of the USNC / International Union of Radio Science. He was editor (1979-1983) of Radio Science and is currently Editor-in-Chief of Waves in Random Media. He is a fellow of the Optical Society of America. Dr. Ishimaru was the recipient of the 1968 IEEE Region VI Achievement Award and the IEEE Centennial Medal in 1984. In 1990 he received the Faculty Achievement Award for Outstanding Research from the College of Engineering, University of Washington. He was appointed as Boeing Martin Professor in the College of Engineering in 1993. In 1995, he was awarded the Distinguished Achievement Award from the IEEE Antennas and Propagating Society |
