Practical Electrical Engineering

Sergey N. Makarov earned his B.S./M.S./Ph.D./Dr. Sci. degrees at the St. Petersburg (Leningrad) State University, Russian Federation , Faculty of Mathematics and Mechanics. Dr. Makarov joined the Faculty of State St. Petersburg University where he became a full professor (youngest full professor of the faculty) in 1996. In 2000 he joined the Faculty of Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), MA where he became a full professor and director of the Center for Electromagnetic Modeling and Design in 2008. His current research interests include applied computational electromagnetics and human body interaction with EM fields.
