Alexander I. Nosich was born in 1953 in Kharkiv, Ukraine. He received the M.S., Ph.D., and D.Sc. (higher doctorate) degrees in radio physics from the Kharkiv National University, Ukraine, in 1975, 1979, and 1990, respectively. Since 1979, he has been with the Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics of the National Academy of Science of Ukraine, Kharkiv, where he is currently Professor and Principal Scientist heading the Laboratory of Micro and Nano Optics. Since 1992, he has held a number of guest fellowship and professorship in the EU, Japan, Singapore, and Turkey. He was elected IEEE Fellow (in 2004) for contributions of computational electromagnetics to the theory of antennas and open waveguides and Senior Member of the Optical Society of America (in 2013). In 2015, he was awarded the title of Doctor Honoris Causa by the University of Rennes 1, France. His research interests include integral equations, analytical regularization, open waveguides, resonators and antennas, lasers, and plasmonics. He was one of the initiators and technical committee chairman of the international conference series on Mathematical Methods in Electromagnetic Theory (MMET), held in Ukraine since 1990. In 1995, he organized IEEE AP-S East Ukraine Chapter, the first one in the former USSR. Currently he represents Ukraine, Georgia, and Moldova in the European Association on Antennas and Propagation.
