"This text would be suitable for the engineer or materials scientist interested in quickly learning about dielectric spectroscopy because it contains a clear and consice background on dielectric spectoscopy fundamentals and has many examples for the reader to quickly learn the essentials. There is a good balance between technical depth and the quality of the descriptions, backed up with clear examples." --IEEE Electrical Insulation Magazine

Dr Poplavko has been teaching electronic materials science topics for the past 40 years in the Ukraine, Portugal and South Korea. During his time at the National Technical University of Ukraine he has developed several courses in materials science and physics and has published more than 20 scientific books and manuals (4 books in English, 6 books in Russian, and 10 books in Ukrainian) on dielectrics, polar crystals, ferroelectrics, and many others. Dr Poplavko is also a renowned expert in the physics of ferroelectrics and dielectrics, known primarily for his efforts in discovering the research method microwave dielectric spectroscopy.
