Edwin A. Marengo received the Bachelor’s degree in Electromechanical Engineering (Valedictorian and Summa Cum Laude) from the Technological University of Panama, Panama City, in 1990, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Northeastern University, Boston, MA, in 1994 and 1997, respectively. From 1992 to 1997 he was with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Northeastern University, first as a Fulbright Scholar sponsored by the United States Department of State, and later as a Stipended Graduate Research Assistant. Before arriving at Northeastern in 1992, he had worked at Exxon Oil Company and at IBM and had taught both Electrical and Mechanical Engineering at universities in Panama. In 1996 he did a summer research internship on photoconducting antennas for ultrawideband applications at the Air Force Research Laboratory in Hanscom Air Force Base, Bedford, MA. Immediately after obtaining the Ph.D., he did a first post-doc at the Center for Electromagnetics Research at Northeastern where he worked on computational electromagnetics for ground-penetrating radar imaging. He also taught an Electric Machines course at the same university. From 1998 to 2000 he did a second post-doc, at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona, Tucson, AZ, where he worked on inverse source and scattering problems and nonradiating sources. In 2000 he joined the Faculty of Electrical Engineering at the Technological University of Panama where he worked for two, one-year Fulbright service periods (from 2000-2001 and from 2002-2003) on inverse problems, wireless and rural communications, stochastic modeling of power systems for technical loss estimation, and quantum information. There he taught the graduate courses of Probability and Stochastic Processes and of Digital Signal Processing, and two graduate Special Topics series on Telecommunications and on Quantum Information Engineering, respectively, as well as the undergraduate Probability course. In addition, he worked on telemedicine under the sponsorship of Yuma Proving Grounds, USA Army, in collaboration with the Arizona Telemedicine Program. Simultaneously, in the period 2001-2002 he worked on classical and quantum information theory and signal processing at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Arizona. In 2003 he worked on wireless communications at the Department of Electrical Engineering at Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, with a focus on ad hoc wireless networks and a new information theory of electromagnetic fields. Since January of 2004 he has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Northeastern University where he is a tenure-track Assistant Professor. His research focuses on theoretical and computational aspects of a number of electromagnetic, imaging, signal processing, and wireless communication, wave-oriented applications. Among other areas, he works on electromagnetic theory, time-reversal imaging, inverse scattering, array signal processing, quantum photonic imaging and electromagnetic wave communication channels. Dr. Marengo is a member of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI) (elected into Commission B: Fields and Waves, in 2006), a senior member of the IEEE, a member of the Optical Society of America and of the American Physical Society, as well as a member of the Honor Societies of Phi Kappa Phi and Eta Kappa Nu, and has been an invited speaker at universities in the USA, Panama, Great Britain, Italy, Sweden, Finland and Chile.
