Education

Rubinstein obtained his bachelor's degree in electronics from Simón Bolívar University in Caracas, Venezuela in 1982. Following it, he immigrated to the United States where he attended the University of Florida, graduating from it with Master's and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering in 1986 and 1991 respectively. [1]

Career

In 1992, Rubinstein joined École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne where he studied electromagnetic compatibility and lightning with Swiss Post, Telegram, and Telegraph. A position at Swisscom got opened for him in 1995, where he then worked on numerical electromagnetics and electromagnetic compatibility in telecommunications and led many projects with the aim to further study EMC and biological effects of electromagnetic radiation. In 2001, Rubinstein joined the University of Applied Sciences and Arts of Western Switzerland in Yverdon-les-Bains, becoming a professor in telecommunications and a team member of the Institute for Information and Communication Technologies. A chairman of the International Project on Electromagnetic Radiation from Lightning to Tall Structures IPLT, Rubinstein is a member of the International Union of Radio Science and Swiss Academy of Sciences.

Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) is the ability of electrical equipment and systems to function acceptably in their electromagnetic environment, by limiting the unintentional generation, propagation and reception of electromagnetic energy which may cause unwanted effects such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or even physical damage to operational equipment. The goal of EMC is the correct operation of different equipment in a common electromagnetic environment. It is also the name given to the associated branch of electrical engineering.

An electromagnetic pulse (EMP), also referred to as a transient electromagnetic disturbance (TED), is a brief burst of electromagnetic energy. The origin of an EMP can be natural or artificial, and can occur as an electromagnetic field, as an electric field, as a magnetic field, or as a conducted electric current. The electromagnetic interference caused by an EMP can disrupt communications and damage electronic equipment. An EMP such as a lightning strike can physically damage objects such as buildings and aircraft. The management of EMP effects is a branch of electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) engineering.
