Research Topics : Electromagnetic theory, Microstrip antennas, Leaky waves


David R. Jackson was born in St. Louis, MO on March 28, 1957. He obtained the B.S.E.E. and M.S.E.E. degrees from the University of Missouri, Columbia, in 1979 and 1981, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1985.

From 1985 - 1991 he was an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Houston, Houston, TX. From 1991 to 1998 he was an Associate Professor in the same department, and from 1998 to present he has been a Professor in this department. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and a member of URSI U.S. Commission B. 
He is presently serving as the Chair of the Transnational Committee of the IEEE AP-S Society, and as the Chair for URSI, U.S. Commission B. He is also on the Editorial Board of the IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques.  Previously, he has been the Chapter Activities Coordinator for the IEEE AP-S Society, a Distinguished Lecturer for the AP-S Society, an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, and a member of the AdCom for the AP-S Society.  He has also served as an Associate Editor for the Journal Radio Science and the International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering.
