Dr. Baruch Levush

Naval Research Laboratory

Head of Vacuum Electronics Branch

IEEE Fellow

Baruch Levush received his Ph.D. (Physics) from Tel-Aviv University, Israel in 1981. In 1985 Dr. Levush joined the Institute for Plasma Research at the University of Maryland, where his research focused on the physics of coherent radiation sources. In 1995, Dr. Levush joined Naval Research Laboratory as the Head of the Theory and Design Section of the Vacuum Electronics Branch, Electronics and Technology Division. In 2003 Dr. Levush became the Head of the Vacuum Electronics Branch at NRL. Dr. Levush is actively involved in developing theoretical models and computational tools for analyzing the operation of vacuum electron devices and in inventing new concepts for high power, high frequency coherent radiation sources. He is responsible for developing a suite of new design codes for vacuum electron devices under the auspices of the Office of Naval Research Modeling and Simulation project. Dr. Levush was the recipient of the 1999 DoD Robert L. Woods Award for his role in the successful development of a 10kW average power, W-band gyro-klystron. He is the co-author of over 150 journal articles. Dr. Levush is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and has served APS DPP, EDS and MTT Societies.
