Levent Sevgi

Levent Sevgi was born in Akhisar on 1st January 1958, received his B.S.E.E., M.S.E.E., and Ph.D. degrees in electronic engineering from Istanbul Technical University (ITU) in 1982, 1984, and 1990, respectively. In 1987, while working on his Ph.D. degree he was awarded a fellowship that allowed him to work with Professor L. B. Felsen at Weber Research Institute, Polytechnic University for two years. In 1990, he returned to the Electrical and Electronics Engineering Faculty of the ITU. He was with the Center for Defense Studies, ITUV-SAM, from 1993 to 1997 and 2000 to 2002 for Turkish Navy. He was with the Scientific Research Group of Raytheon Systems Canada from September 1998 till January 1999, during the field trials of the Canadian East Coast Integrated Maritime Surveillance System based on surface wave HF radars. He joined TUBITAK-MRC, Information Technologies Research Institute of the Turkish Scientific Research and Technology Council as the Chair of Electronic Systems Department in January 1999. Since February 2002, he has been with Electronics and Communication Engineering Department, Engineering Faculty, the Dogus University in Kadikoy, Istanbul. His research study has focused on propagation in complex environments, analytical and numerical methods in electromagnetics and radar systems, EMC/EMI modeling and measurement, surface wave HF radars, FDTD, TLM, SSPE and MoM techniques and their applications, RCS modeling, bioelectromagnetics. He is also interested in novel approaches in engineering education, teaching electromagnetics via virtual tools. Recently, he started to teach popular science lectures like science, technology, and society. He is the Author or Coauthor of nearly 150 journal and conference papers.
