Scattering Analysis of Periodic Structures using Finite-Difference Time-Domain Method

Dr. Khaled ElMahgoub received B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in electronics and electrical communications engineering from Cairo University, Egypt, in 2001 and 2006, respectively. He received his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the University of Mississippi, USA in 2010. From 2007–2010, he was a teaching and research assistant at the University of Mississippi. Prior to that, from 2001–2006 he has been a teaching and research assistant at Cairo University. Currently, he is working as senior validation engineer at Trimble Navigation, Cambridge, MA, USA, possessing over six years of experience in the industry. Throughout his academic years, he coauthored over 20 technical journals and conference papers. He is the main co-author of the book entitled Enhancements to Low Density Parity Check Codes: Application to the WiMAX System, Lambert Academic Publishing, 2010. ElMahgoub is editor assistant for Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES) Journal. He is also a frequent reviewer for many scientific journals, conferences, books, and has chaired technical sessions in international conferences. He is a member of IEEE, ACES, and Phi Kappa Phi honor society. His current research interests include RFID systems, channel coding, FDTD, antenna design, and numerical techniques for electromagnetics.
