Career
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), [15] and distinguished professor since 2014. [16] 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). [17] He is also president of the Summa Foundation,an independent,philanthropic organization promoting scientific and educational activities in the field of electromagnetics. [18]
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. [19]
Acting as a principal investigator,or leading multilateral alliances,Schamiloglu's laboratory has received research subsidies of millions of dollars often originating from the US Department of Defense, [20] [21] [22] [23] In 2020,he led a five-university inter-institutional team sponsored by the Air Force,which was selected for a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI) Award from the United States Department of Defense to explore the Fundamental Limits to High Power Electromagnetic Amplification. [24] [25]
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), [26] 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. [27] Johnson's position at ERVA was later filled by Pramod Khargonekar from the University of California,Irvine. [28]
Schamiloglu has taught electromagnetics,plasma physics,neurosystems engineering,and advanced mathematics. [29] 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. [29]
As a special assistant to the provost,Schamiloglu aided in the development of working relations between the University of New Mexico and United States Department of Energy national laboratories. [30] [31]
He was elected a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) in 2002, [7] and a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2020. [8]
Honors
Schamiloglu's academic achievements have been recognized by many awards. Within UNM he received Research Excellence Awards in 1992, 2001 and 2017, also Creativity Awards in 2011, 2012, 2013, 2018 and 2019. [42] [43] [44] He was selected as a UNM Academic Leadership Fellow from 2013 to 2015, [17] and received the Gardner-Zemke Research Award in 2016. [45]
Within the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), his awards include:
- 2002: Elected Fellow “For Contributions to the Generation and Propagation of Intense Pulsed Charged Particle Beams” [7]
- 2008: Albuquerque Section Outstanding Engineering Educator Award
- 2013: Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society's Richard F. Shea Distinguished Member Award “For Outstanding Contributions to its Technical Committees” [46]
- 2015: NPSS PPST Peter Haas Award “For Research in the Area of Pulsed Power, Beams, and Microwaves, and for his Dedicated Service to the Current and Future Pulsed Power Community through his Leadership and Educational Endeavors” [15]
- 2019: Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society's 2019 Magne “Kris” Kristiansen Award for Contributions to Experimental Nuclear and Plasma Science [47]
Other awards he has received include:
