Biography
Christopher W. Trueman received the B.Eng. degree from McGill University in 1972 and joined newly-created Concordia University in 1974 as a Sessional Lecturer. He received the M.Eng. degree from McGill in 1975 with a thesis on the application of the Uniform Theory of Diffraction. He completed his Ph.D. at McGill in 1979 for a project using wire-grid modelling to evaluate the performance of HF communication antennas on aircraft.
Dr. Trueman has been a member of Concordia's Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory since its inception in the late 1970s, doing contract research involving EMC problems between standard broadcast antennas and power lines, HF and VHF antennas on aircraft, and cellular telephones and the human head. He has held an operating grant from the National Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada since 1980.
He has applied the methods of computational electromagnetics to real-world problems: aircraft antenna performance, antenna-to-antenna coupling and EMC on aircraft, aircraft and ship radar cross-section, suppression of scattering of commercial radio station signals from power lines, validation of computational methods against measurements, computer graphics for computational electromagnetics, dielectric resonators, and the near and far fields of portable radios such as cellular phones held against the head.
Dr. Trueman became a full Professor in 2000 and is a Senior Member of the IEEE.
