About the author
Gerhard Kristensson is Professor Emeritus at Lund University, Sweden, where he held the Chair of Electromagnetic Theory for 25 years. He has served as a member of the Board for Editors of
Wave Motion, the Editorial Board and the International Advisory Panel of
Inverse Problems, and the Review Board of
Journal of Electromagnetic Waves and Applications and
Progress in Electromagnetic Research. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics, and during 2006-2014 he was the chairman of the Swedish National committee of Radio Science (SNRV) and official representative for Sweden in the International Union of Radio Science (URSI). Professor Kristensson has a general interest in electromagnetic scattering problems and wave propagation in inhomogeneous media.
