M. Gilgenbach is a professor in the Nuclear Engineering and
Radiological Sciences Department and also serves in the Applied
Physics Program at the University of Michigan. He received his Ph.
D. in Electrical Engineering from Columbia University in 1978. His
B.S. (1972) and M.S. (1973) degrees were earned at the University
of Wisconsin. In the early 1970's he spent several years as a Member
of the Technical Staff at Bell Labs. From 1978-1980, he worked at
the Naval Research Lab (NRL) and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
Dr. Gilgenbach joined the faculty of the University of Michigan
in 1980 and became Director of the Plasma, Pulsed Power and Microwave
Laboratory. In 2002 he founded the Bioelectromagnetism Laboratory,
which he also directs. His research at Michigan has concentrated
on the plasma physics and applications of high-power electron beams
and microwaves, as well as laser plasmas, laser diagnostics, beam-materials
processing, biological interactions of radio-frequency and ultrawideband
radiation, and plasma propulsion for space. He has had research
interactions with scientists at Air Force Research Lab, Sandia National
Labs, NASA Glenn, L-3 Communications Corp., Northrop Grumman Corp.,
General Motors Research Labs, Los Alamos National Lab, Fermilab,
and the Naval Research Lab.
Dr. Gilgenbach received the NSF Presidential Young Investigator
Award and the 1997 Plasma Sciences and Applications Committee Award
from the IEEE. He is a Fellow of both the American Physical Society
and the IEEE. Prof. Gilgenbach is an Associate Editor of the Physics
of Plasmas and is currently the Chair Elect of the IEEE Plasma Science
and Applications Technical Committee. He has published some 130
articles in refereed journals and has supervised 38 graduated Ph.D.
students.
