1993. He finished a Bachelor of Science with a double major in Electrical
Engineering and Mathematics at the University of Kentucky
in 1996 (summa cum laude) and a Master of Science in Electrical
Engineering at the University of Kentucky in 1997. In 2002 he completed
his Ph. D. studies in Electrical Engineering at The Ohio State University. As
an undergraduate, he was a National Merit Scholar, a National Science Scholar,
a Robert C. Byrd Scholar and received scholarships from the University of
Kentucky. He was supported by the National Science Foundation during the
summer of 1995 to research vibrating transmission lines. As a masters student,
he was supported by fellowships from the University of Kentucky. During

Dr. Slone is a member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE). In addition, he is a member of the Antennas and Propagation
Society, the Electromagnetic Compatibility Society (EMC-S), the Magnetics
Society, and the Microwave Theory and Techniques Society. He is a
member of the EMC-S Technical Committee 9 (Computational EMC), and has
served as a technical paper reviewer for several international journals and
symposia. His areas of interest are model order reduction, computational
electromagnetics, electromagnetic compatibility, microwave circuits,
high performance and parallel computing, and numerical analysis.
