Background
Professor Schamiloglu, born in The BronXXVII, NY, was educated in the New York City public school system, graduating from the Bronx High School of Science in 1976. He received the B.S. and M.S. degrees from Columbia University in 1979 and 1981, respectively. He received his Ph.D. degree in Applied Physics from Cornell University in 1988. He is a Professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, USA. He is the Director of the Pulsed Power, Beams, and Microwaves Laboratory. He was the General Chair of the IEEE Pulsed Power and Plasma Science 2007 Conference.

Teaching
“Every so often, it still happens that someone tells me that there is an irreconcilable conflict between teaching and research, that dedicated teachers do not do research because it takes away time that they could be spending on their teaching, or that serious research physicists cannot afford to devote significant amounts of time and effort to teaching. As a generalization, this has always struck me as ludicrous.” Robert H. Romer, Editor, American Journal of Physics, from “Teaching or research, research or teaching? - Thoughts about Edward M. Purcell,” Am. J. Phys. vol. 65, 689 (1997).
He teaches undergraduate and graduate level electrodynamics, graduate level antennas and wave propagation, graduate level plasma diagnostic theory and experiment, physics of intense pulsed electron and ion beams, pulsed power and charged particle acceleration, beam-wave interaction in quasi-periodic structures, probabilistic methods, circuit analysis, and engineering ethics.

Other Stuff
"The researches of Brahe, Kepler, Newton, and their successors have presented us with a cold view of the world. As far as we have been able to discover the laws of nature, they are impersonal, with no hint of a divine plan or any special status for human beings. In one way or another ... [we need to be] facing up to these discoveries. They express a viewpoint that is rationalist, reductionist, realist, and devoutly secular. Facing up is, after all, the posture opposite to that of prayer." Steven Weinberg, Facing Up: Science and its Cultural Adversaries (Harvard University Press, Cambridge, MA, 2001), p. ix-x.
