Education

Dennie Burnside earned his BSEE and MSEE in 1968 and his Ph.D. in 1972 all from Ohio State University. He has worked at the ElectroScience Laboratory since that time and was its director from 1995 to 2002. He has been a full professor and a Fellow of the IEEE since 1985.


Research Interests


Dr. Burnside’s research interests lie in antenna development, analysis, and scattering measurements. He has previously investigated wedge diffraction and geometrical optics theory with regard to parallel-plate waveguides. He has studies various array antenna problems including their radiation, impedance and scattering properties. He has analyzed the radiation patterns of on-aircraft antennas. He has utilized a combination of GTD and MoM to examine these areas. More recently, he has been concerned with the design and development of a state-of-the-art compact range and instrumentation system.
