Dr. Nathan Ida is currently Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at The University of Akron in Akron, Ohio where he has been since 1985.

His current research interests are in the areas of non-destructive testing and evaluation of materials at low and microwave frequencies with particular emphasis on sensing, ground penetrating radar, all aspects of modelling and simulation and on related issues stemming from research in NDE and in sensing.

Other areas of current interest include electromagnetic wave propagation, theoretical issues in computation, as well as in communications and sensing, especially in low power remote control and wireless sensing.

Much of this work has found its way into practice through industrial relations and consulting across industries as diverse as power generation, polymers, steel, medical and software, spanning the globe.

Dr. Ida has published extensively on nondestructive testing of materials, surface impedance boundary conditions, sensing and others, in over 400 publications and has written 12 books.
