Fernando Teixeira

Fernando Lisboa Teixeira is a Brazilian American electrical engineer and academic, who is a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Ohio State University and Director of the ElectroScience Laboratory . Best known for his contributions to computational electromagnetics, he was named a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers in 2015 "for contributions to time-domain electromagnetic techniques and applications."

Teixeira received bachelor's and master's degrees from Pontifical Catholic University of Rio de Janeiro in 1991 and 1995. From 1992 to 1996, he worked in the Brazilian defense and satellite communications industries as an engineer. He received his doctoral degree from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign in 1999 under the supervision of Weng Cho Chew; his dissertation focused on the development of new algorithms for electromagnetic simulations. From 1999 to 2000, he was a postdoctoral associate at Research Laboratory of Electronics at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he worked on remote sensing problems. In 2000, he joined Ohio State University as a faculty member.

Teixeira's research interests include computational electromagnetics, computational plasma physics, remote sensing, and antennas and propagation. He is the recipient of IEEE Microwave Outstanding Young Engineer Award (2010), and IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Chen-To Tai Distinguished Educator Award (2026). Being a member of Commissions B and F of International Union of Radio Science, he served as the associate editor for IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters and IET Microwaves, Antennas and Propagation.
