Biography
Mittra was born on 1 July 1932, in India.
Professional career
In 1957, Mittra became a visiting assistant professor in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the
After a short retirement, later in 1996 Mittra took a professor position at Penn State in the Electrical Engineering Department.[4] He founded and was appointed as the director of its Electromagnetic Communication Laboratory. He still holds these positions in 2013.[5] In 2015, he moved to Orlando, Florida and became a professor at University of Central Florida.[2]
He served a one-year term as president of the
