Donald R. Wilton was born in Lawton, OK, October 25, 1942. He received the B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign, in 1964, 1966, and 1970, respectively. From 1965 to 1968 he was with Hughes Aircraft Co., Fullerton, CA, engaged in the analysis and design of phased array antennas. From 1970–1983 he was with the Department of Electrical Engineering, University of Mississippi, and since 1983 he has been Professor of Electrical Engineering at the University of Houston. From 1978–1979 he was a Visiting Professor at Syracuse University. During 2004-2005 he was a visiting professor at the Polytechnic of Turin, Italy, the Sandia National Laboratories, and the University of Washington. His primary research interest is in computational electromagnetics, and he has published, lectured, and consulted extensively in this area. He is listed at ISIHighlyCited.com as one of the 250 most cited authors in the computer science area.
Dr. Wilton is a Fellow of the IEEE and received the IEEE Third Millenium Medal. He has served the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society as an Associate Editor of the Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, as a Distinguished National Lecturer, and as a member of AdCom. Dr. Wilton is also a member of Commission B of the International Radio Science Union (URSI), in which he has held various offices, including Chair of U. S. Commission B.
Research and Academics
Dr. Wilton's research has centered around the application of mathematical and numerical methods to the solution of antenna, guided wave, and electromagnetic scattering problems, and he has published widely in these areas.
