Jian-Ming Jin received his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1989. He joined the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign in 1993 and is currently the Y. T. Lo Chair Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and the Director with the Electromagnetics Laboratory and Center for Computational Electromagnetics. He has authored and coauthored more than 280 papers in refereed journals and 22 book chapters. He has also authored The Finite Element Method in Electromagnetics (Wiley, 1st ed. 1993, 2nd ed. 2002, and 3rd ed. 2014), Electromagnetic Analysis and Design in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CRC, 1998), Theory and Computation of Electromagnetic Fields (Wiley, 1st ed. 2010 and 2nd ed. 2015), and coauthored Computation of Special Functions (Wiley, 1996), Fast and Efficient Algorithms in Computational Electromagnetics (Artech, 2001), and Finite Element Analysis of Antennas and Arrays (Wiley, 2008). His current research interests include computational electromagnetics, multiphysics modeling, scattering and antenna analysis, electromagnetic compatibility, high-frequency circuit modeling and analysis, bioelectromagnetics, and magnetic resonance imaging. He was elected by the ISI as one of the world’s most cited authors in 2002, and is also a Fellow of IEEE, the Optical Society of America (OSA), Electromagnetics Academy, and Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES).

Dr. Jin was the recipient of the 1994 National Science Foundation Young Investigator Award, the 1995 Office of Naval Research Young Investigator Award, the 1999 ACES Valued Service Award, the 2014 ACES Technical Achievement Award, the 2015 IEEE APS Chen-To Tai Distinguished Educator Award, the 2015 and 2020 IEEE Edward E. Altschuler AP-S Magazine Prize Paper Awards, the 2016 ACES Computational Electromagnetics Award, the 2017 IEEE APS Harrington-Mittra Computational Electromagnetics Award, and the 2020 ECE Distinguished Educator Award from the University of Michigan. In 1999, he was appointed as a Distinguished Visiting Professor with the Air Force Research Laboratory. He was awarded Adjunct, Visiting, Guest, or Chair Professorship by 14 institutions around the world and appointed an IEEE AP-S Distinguished Lecturer in 2015. He was also the recipient of the 1997 and 2000 Xerox Research Awards, and was appointed as the first Henry Magnuski Outstanding Young Scholar in 1998 and later as a Sony Scholar in 2005 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His name appeared 24 times in the University’s List of Excellent Instructors. His students have received the best paper awards in IEEE 16th Topical Meeting on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and 25th, 27th, 31st, and 32nd Annual Review of Progress in Applied Computational Electromagnetics. He was an Associate Editor and Guest Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Radio Science, Electromagnetics, Microwave and Optical Technology Letters, and Medical Physics, and now serves as Editor-in-Chief for International Journal of Numerical Modeling: Electronic Networks, Devices and Fields.
