Leopold B. Felsen[1] (May 7, 1924 in Munich[2] – September 24, 2005 in Boston[3]) was an electrical engineer and physicist known for studies of electromagnetism and wave-based disciplines. He had to flee Germany at 16 due to the Nazis.[4] He has fundamental contributions to applied electromagnetic field analysis.

Academic life

He received his bachelor, master, and PhD degrees from the

Optical Society of America.[2]

In 1973 he coauthored with Nathan Marcuvitz a textbook titled Radiation and Scattering of Waves which published by Prentice Hall in its Electrical Engineering Series. This was a classic worldwide textbook which immediately became widely used by researchers[6] and has been described as "The Bible" in applied electromagnetism.[7] In 1994 IEEE reissued Radiation and Scattering of Waves as one of its classic reissues in the collection of The IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Wave Theory.[8]

Awards

In 1991 he won the IEEE Heinrich Hertz Medal.[9][10]
