Foreword
This festschrift volume recognizes the long and distinguished career of Magdy F. Iskander as researcher, educator, and leader in his professional and academic communities. His students and colleagues have spoken in great detail through their chapters here of his many contributions to the fields of electromagnetics and wireless technologies, as well as his success in translating his work into effective educational and university-industry interactions. Magdy, himself, has written in this volume the fascinating story of his life and career path over four decades, with detailed chapters on his research in computational electromagnetics, propagation modeling, antennas and antenna arrays, and metamaterials and his entrepreneurial and educational activities. My own reflection on Magdy’s career accomplishments dates to our time together as co
