in 1967 and 1968, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in Applied
Physics from Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts,
in 1974.
He
was employed as an Aerosystems Engineer in the antenna design
group of General Dynamics, Ft. Worth, Texas, from 1968 to
1969.
From 1970 to 1974 he was a Teaching Fellow and Research Assistant
in applied mathematics and applied physics at Harvard University.
He was also a Research Assistant at Los Alamos Scientific

Computer
Engineering from 1984 to 1995 and from 1998 to 1999 and as
Associate Dean of the College of Engineering from 1995 to
1998, and again from 2000 to the present. He is a Professor
in the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and a registered
Professional Engineer. His research interests are in the
broad area of applied electromagnetics and more specifically
in microstrip
and dielectric resonator antennas.
Dr.
Long was elected to the Administrative Committee (AdCom)
of the IEEE Antennas
and Propagation Society (AP-S) for a
three-year term in 1981, and again in 1989. He was organizer

as the outstanding teacher in engineering at the University
of Houston in 1983, was awarded the University Teaching
Excellence Award in 1991, received the Engineering Alumni
Association's
1992 Distinguished Faculty Award, was chosen as the outstanding
teacher in electrical engineering by the IEEE/HKN students
in 1994, received the Senior Research Award from the
College of Engineering in 1995, and the top career award
given
by the
College, the Fluor Daniel Award in 2006.
Dr.
Long is a member of Phi Beta Kappa, Tau Beta Pi, Sigma Xi,
and Commission
B of URSI, was elected to membership
in the Electromagnetics Academy in 1990, became a Fellow
of
