Internationally recognized expert Dikshitulu Kalluri is professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Massachusetts-Lowell, where he is coordinator of the doctoral program and co-director of the Center for Electromagnetic Materials and Optical Systems (CEMOS). Dr. Kalluri has collaborated with research groups at the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, UCLA, the University of Southern California, and the University of Tennessee. He has also served as a faculty research associate at Air Force Laboratories.

"… a required reference in the library of anyone doing research or development in plasma physics or engineering."—Igor Alexeff, Electrical Engineering Department, University of Tennessee"Most appropriate for advanced engineering students. Comprehensive, yet ‘eases’ into difficult matters."—Andrew M. Sessler, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory"... a meticulously written and extremely useful book for both students and professionals...The approach is especially directed toward electrical engineers whose deeper appreciation of circuits is exploited to help their concept building, [as applied in] transmission line analogies.""…brings together many increasingly important concepts from previously somewhat separate areas of electromagnetics into one clear and coherent tome."—Michael A. Fiddy, University of North Carolina at Charlotte
