Leopold B. Felsen[1] (1924 in Munich – September 24, 2005 in the US) was a electrical engineer and physicist known for studies of Electromagnetism and wave-based disciplines. He had to flee Germany at 16 due to the Nazis.[2] He has fundamental contributions to electromagnetic field analysis.

Academic life

Leopold B. Felsen was a professor at Polytechnic University of New York[3] and at Boston University College of Engineering, an IEEE life fellow and a fellow of both the Acoustical Society of America and the Optical Society of America. He earned bachelor's, master's and doctoral degrees from what was then the Polytechnic Institute of Brooklyn.[4]

Awards

In 1991 he won the IEEE Heinrich Hertz Medal.[5][6]
