Biography:
Rodolfo (Rudy) Diaz is an Emeritus Professor in the School of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering at Arizona State University. During his 20 years in the aerospace industry, Diaz has worked on many aspects of the interaction between electromagnetic waves and materials, from lightning protection of the space shuttle through the design of the microwave lenses and high-temperature broadband radomes for radar missiles to the design and manufacture of radar-absorbing structures for Stealth applications. He is the former associate director of the Consortium for Meterology of Semiconductor Nanodefects and holds 30 patents ranging from the design of broadband radomes to the amplification of magnetic fields.
Diaz's areas of expertise include optical scattering of subwavelength objects in complex environments, analytic theory of natural and artificial media, combined computational mechanics and electromagnetics.
Education:
- Ph.D. Electrical Engineering, University of California-Los Angeles 1992
