Background

Professor Schamiloglu, born in The Bronx, 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.

Bio

Openings for Graduate Research Assistantship and Teaching Assistantship

Professor Schamiloglu is always looking for an outstanding M.S. or Ph.D. candidate to participate in his research program in Applied Electromagnetics and Plasma Science. Interested students must first be admitted into the ECE Graduate Program. Interested students should contact Professor Schamiloglu by e-mail.

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.

Favorite quotes for our times:

"A patriot must always be ready to defend his country against its own government" - Edward Abby

"The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page" - Saint Augustine

"A little patience, and we shall see the reign of witches pass over, their spells dissolve, and the people, recovering their true sight, restore their government to its true principles. It is true that in the meantime we are suffering deeply in spirit, and incurring the horrors of a war and long oppressions of enormous public debt...If the game runs sometimes against us at home we must have patience till luck turns, and then we shall have an opportunity of winning back the principles we have lost, for this is a game where principles are at stake." - Thomas Jefferson, 1798, after the passage of the Sedition Act.

"For centuries, theologians have been explaining the unknowable in terms of the not-worth-knowing." - H.L. Mencken
