Yuval Carmel was born in Israel in 1942. He received the B.S. (EE) and M.S. (EE) degrees from the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology in 1966 and 1967, respectively, and the Ph.D. (EE) degree from Cornell University, Ithaca, NY, in 1974. He was with the government of Israel, the Naval Research Laboratory, and is currently with the University of Maryland at College Park.

Research Interests

Dr. Carmel's research interests include electromagnetic radiation from intense electron beams, plasma microwave devices, and materials processing with microwave energy. He has been a reviewer for the NSF, AFOSR, and DOE. He has co-authored more than 60 research papers in regular journals and holds three patents. He served as a consultant to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Physical Sciences, Inc., Science Applications International Corporation, and Jaycor. He is a senior member of IEEE and a member of the American Physical Society and the American Ceramics Society.
