Elias M. Nassar received the B.E. degree in electrical engineering (with distinction) from the American University, Beirut, Lebanon, in 1990, and the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in electrical engineering from The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, in 1992 and 1997 respectively. From 1990 to 1997 he was a Graduate Research Assistant at the ElectroScience Laboratory, The Ohio State University where he worked on numerical modeling and testing of antennas for ground penetrating radar and remote sensing of sea ice. In 1997 he was employed as a Graduate Teaching Assistant in the Electrical Engineering Department at the Ohio State University where he taught laboratory courses. In 1998 he joined the Electrical, Computer and Communication Engineering Department at Notre Dame University (NDU), Lebanon as an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2005. In October 2001 he was appointed as the Chairperson of the Electrical, Computer and Communication Engineering Department at NDU. Currently he is the Dean of the Faculty of Engineering at NDU. He is a Senior Member of the IEEE, the Chairperson of the IEEE Lebanon Section and the Vice Chair of the IEEE Region 8 for Student Activities. His current research interests include the use of numerical methods in electromagnetics to model antennas for mobile communications and radar remote sensing, and developing novel techniques for engineering education.
