Cui, Tie Jun

Tie Jun Cui was born in September 1965, in Hebei, China. He received the B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from Xidian University, Xi'an, China, in 1987, 1990, and 1993, respectively.

In March 1993, he joined in the Department of Electromagnetic Engineering, Xidian University, and was promoted to an Associate Professor in November 1993. From 1995 to 1997 he was a Research Fellow with the Institut fur Höchstfrequenztechnik und Elektronik (IHE) at the University of Karlsruhe, Germany. In July 1997, he joined the Center for Computational Electromagnetics, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, first as a Postdoctoral Research Associate and then a Research Scientist. In September 2001, he became a Full Professor with the Department of Radio Engineering, Southeast University, Nanjing, China. Currently, he is the Associate Director of the State Key Laboratory of Millimeter Waves. Dr. Cui is the author of four book chapters, over 100 scientific journal articles, and has presented over 40 conference papers. His research interests include wave propagation, scattering, inverse scattering, landmine detection, geophysical subsurface sensing, fast algorithms, microwave and millimeter wave circuits and antennas simulations, signal integrity, and metamaterials. Currently, he is a principal investigator of several national projects, including a National Science Foundation of China (NSFC) for Distinguished Young Scholars, and an NSFC major project.

Dr. Cui was awarded a Research Fellowship from the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, Bonn, Germany, in 1995, received a Young Scientist Award from the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) in 1999, was awarded a Cheung Kong Professor under the Cheung Kong Scholar Program by the Ministry of Education, China, in 2001, and received a Tai-Yang Teaching Award from Southeast University, Nanjing, China, in 2003. He is a senior member of IEEE and a member of URSI (Commission B).
