LONG Dr. Hoefer enjoys international recognition as scholar, author, educator, technical leader and journal editor in microwave engineering and computational electromagnetics. He laid the foundations for E-plane circuit design by translating electromagnetic field theory and mathematical formalism into novel computer-aided design tools. He pioneered time domain modeling of analog and digital circuits, and made seminal contributions to the principal time domain numerical methods employed today: Transmission Line Matrix (TLM), Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD), and Wavelet (MRTD) Modeling. The hallmark of his research is his capacity to translate scientific insight into powerful computational techniques and vital design tools that have become industry standards.
