Rate My Professor Jie Xu

Dr. Xu's research specializations include electromagnetics, wave propagation in complex media, antenna design, and their applications in wireless communications, remote sensing, and biomedical imaging. His ongoing and recent projects encompass early breast cancer detection with microwave imaging, functional dimensions of electromagnetic fields in scattering environments to assess diversity benefits from field polarizations, characteristics of singular modes of antenna arrays for beam-forming and object locating, formulation of scattering-inclusive dyadic Green's function and its angular radiation spectrum, orbital angular momentum of beamed electromagnetic waves for wireless spatial multiplexing, and characteristic modes of material bodies for special-purpose antenna design. Key publications feature "Zernike-Polynomial-Based Entire-Domain Vector Basis Functions for Circular Domains" published in IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation in 2022, "Generation of Laguerre-Gaussian Modes by Aperture or Array Sources" in the same journal in 2019, "Characteristic Modes of Circular Conducting Plate with Zernike Polynomials as Entire-Domain Basis" presented at the 2020 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and North American Radio Science Meeting, and "Object Localization Using Machine Learning" at the 2023 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and USNC-URSI Radio Science Meeting. Additional works include conference contributions such as "Degrees of freedom of OAM-based line-of-sight radio systems" in 2017 and various papers on angular spectra and Green's functions in random scattering environments from 2010 to 2015.
