early 1970’s. He has presented numerous EMC training classes
that embrace a broad range of topics including microprocessor
packaging, printed circuit module issues, system design and shielding.
In many of these classes, explanations are clarified with a combination
of simulations and data from product related measurements. In
2002, Colin was awarded the Certificate of Technical Achievement
by the IEEE EMC Society for his contributions to the development
of EMC modeling directed to understanding EMI shielding and antenna
behavior. Colin is a co-author of the book, EMI/EMC Computational

John
Norgard is a Professor of Electrical & Computer Engineering
at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and is the Director
of the Electromagnetics Laboratory, which includes a large broadband
anechoic chamber. He also holds a joint appointment with the US
Air Force Academy. He received a BSEE (Coop) degree from Georgia
Tech in 1966, and Master of Science and PhD degrees in Applied
Physics from Caltech in 1967 and 1969, respectively. John worked
as a co-operative student trainee at the Charleston Naval Shipyard
while at Georgia Tech and as a Research Associate with the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory while at Caltech. At the shipyard, he was
involved in the design and testing of communication links with
Polaris submarines and undersea propagation of EM waves. At Caltech,
he was a NSF fellow working with the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
on the design of the communication antennas for the Viking Lander,
which was enveloped in an drag induced plasma flow field in the
Martian atmosphere causing communication blackout (as in earth
re-entry). After graduating from Caltech, he was a Post-Doctoral
Fellow at the University of Oslo, working with the Norwegian Defense
Research Establishment and the Auroral Observatory on plasma models
of the polar ionosphere that included the effects of the Aurora
Borealis, and helped establish an experimental observation program
that performed rocket soundings of the Aurora Borealis to measure
ion concentrations and temperature profiles of the disturbed polar
ionosphere. He then taught at Georgia Tech for 15 years before
coming to the University of Colorado. While at Georgia Tech, he
also worked part-time with the Bell Telephone Laboratories and
was on a sabbatical leave at the Tel-Aviv University. He also
worked for the Rome Air Development Center as an AFOSR Fellow
on a project that predicted and measured the effects of rocket
plumes on the coupling of EM energy into the guidance systems
of missiles. At the University of Colorado, he designed and constructed
a large broadband Microwave Anechoic Chamber and developed an
EM lab based on the extended measurement capabilities of the chamber.
He developed a new infrared imaging technique that can be used
to measure and visualize EM fields (using IR thermograms/holograms).
This work is supported by the EM Metrology Division at NIST/Boulder.
John was elected Fellow of the IEEE for his work on developing
this measurement technique. He is now using this IR imaging technique
to measure the fields generated by High Power Microwave weapon
systems that are being developed and tested by the Air Force Research
Laboratory at the Phillips Research Site (Directed Energy Directorate)
at Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, NM. He is also working on the
design of new compact low-frequency broadband antennas for Ground
Penetrating Radar applications for the Air Force Research Laboratory
at the Rome Research Site (Sensors Directorate) at Griffiss AFB
in Rome, NY. John has served as the Dean of the College of Engineering
& Applied Science and as the Chair of the Department of Electrical
& Computer Engineering. He also established a new department
in Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering and was the first chairman
of that department. He is a registered Professional Engineer in
Colorado. He also serves as the Associate Editor of the EMC Transactions
in the area of antenna metrology. Until recently he was the chairman
of Commission A (Metrology) of the International Union of Radio
Scientists (URSI). He is a member of the Board of Directors of
the EMC Society and is the Vice-President of Technical Services,
which includes Student and Educational Activities, Representative
Activities, and Technical Activities. He is also on the Board
of Physics and Astronomy for the National Research Council and
the National Academy of Sciences and has been the Chair of several
NSF Graduate Fellowship Programs. EMC|
