Schamiloglu has been a faculty member at University of New Mexico since 1988. At the UNM School of Engineering,he has successively been Regents’Lecturer from 1996 to1999,ECE Gardner-Zemke Professor at the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department (since 2000),[16] and distinguished professor since 2014.[17] Also at the University of New Mexico,he has been associate chair and director of the Graduate Program (2000–2001),director of the School of Engineering Research Center COSMIAC (2015-2017),associate dean for research and innovation (2017-2023),and special assistant to the provost for laboratory relations (2018-2025).[18] He is also president of the SUMMA Foundation,an independent,philanthropic organization promoting scientific and educational activities in the field of electromagnetics.[19]
At University of New Mexico,he established a program for research and education in plasma science involving pulsed power and intense beam-driven,high power microwave devices. He founded the Pulsed Power,Beams and Microwaves Laboratory (1989),where for many years his team have been pursuing research in areas such as modeling of electromagnetic systems,directed energy microwaves,and the effects of high power microwaves on systems.[20]
As a principal co-investigator,Schamiloglu became a founding member of the NSF Directorate for Engineering's sponsored Engineering Research Visioning Alliance (ERVA),together with Dorota Grejner-Brzezińska from The Ohio State University (now Research Vice-chancelor at UW Madison),[27] Anthony Boccanfuso from the University Industry Demonstration Partnership (UIDP),Barry W. Johnson from the University of Virginia,and Charles Johnson-Bey,of Booz Allen Hamilton.[28] Johnson's position at ERVA was later filled by Pramod Khargonekar from the University of California,Irvine.[29]
Schamiloglu has taught electromagnetics,plasma physics,neurosystems engineering,and advanced mathematics.[30] He has been an invited lecturer at institutions in the US,UK,India and China. He has supervised over eighty M.S. and Ph.D. dissertations in related fields. Also,his laboratory has hosted many international visiting scientists since 1991.[30]
Schamiloglu has published hundreds of peer-reviewed academic articles.[33] His citations can be retrieved from his page on Google Scholar.[34] Some of his most cited papers are:
