O autorze

​Kama Huang was born in Chongqing, China, in 1964. He received the M.S. in 1988 and Ph.D. in 1991 in Microwave theory and Technology both in the University of Electronic Science and Technology, China. In 1991 he joined the department of Radio and Electronics of Sichuan University, China, where he has been a professor in Radio physics since 1994, and has been the director of the Department, since 1997. In 1996, 1997, and 1999 he was a visiting scientist at the Scientific Research Center “Vidhuk” in Ukraine, Technical University Vienna in Austria, and Institute of Biophysics CNR in Italy, respectively, where he cooperated with the scientists to study the interaction between electromagnetic fields and the complex media in living systems and in chemical reaction systems. In 2001, he visited Clemson University in USA as a senior visiting scholar to study the measurement of permittivity of biological tissue.

Currently, he is the dean of College of Electronics and Information Engineering, Sichuan University and the director of Institute of Applied Electromagnetics.

He is also a senior member of IEEE and the member of AMPERE committee of management. He has published over two hundred papers; some of them were published in international journal, such as IEEE Transactions on EMC, IEEE Transactions on MTT, IEE Proceedings, I&E Chemistry Research, Journal of Physical Chemistry and a book entitled “Microwave Chemistry” published in China, 1999. He has received some research awards from Chinese government. He won National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars in China, 2001.

His research interests are in the areas of microwave chemistry, microwave heating, and electromagnetic theory.

 

Xiaoqing Yang was born in Baoji City, Shanxi Province, China, in 1978. He received the M.S. in 2003 in Biomedical Engineering and Ph. D. in 2006 in Electromagnetic field and Microwave Technology both in Sichuan University, China. Then he joined the department of Institute of Applied Electromagnetics of Sichuan University, China, where he has been a professor in 2013. He was a visiting scientist at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Currently, he is a key member in academy of College of Electronics and Information Engineering, Sichuan University.

He is also Europe AMPERE member and Chinese Microwave Special Committee Committeeman. He has published over fifty papers; some of them were published in international journal, such as IEEE Trans. On GRS, Journal of Solution Chemistry, I&E Chemistry Research and Journal of Physical Chemistry. He won National Natural Science Foundation of China in 2011 and the third prize of science and technology progress of Sichuan Province in 2014.

His research is focused on microwave measurement, microwave heating and instrument design. His research is current supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China, National Basic Research Program of China and The Sichuan Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars.

Hua-Cheng Zhu was born in Xuzhou, China, on March, 1986. He received his B.Sc. degree and Ph.D. degree from Sichuan University in 2009 and 2014, in Electric Engineering and Information and radio physics, respectively. From 2015, he has been a faculty of Sichuan University. During 2012 and 2013, he was a Visiting Fellow with Department of Biological and Environmental Engineering at Cornell University, Ithaca, USA, which was supported by China Scholarship Council.

His special fields of interest include microwave heating of food, biological tissues and chemical reactions.

Blurb

This book addresses microwave chemistry at both the physical and molecular level. Its main goal is to elaborate the highly complex scientific issues involved in the fundamental theory of microwave chemistry, and in industrialized applications in the near future.

The book provides detailed insights into the characterization and measurement of dielectric properties under complex conditions, such as chemical reactions, high-temperature environments, etc. Considerable attention is paid to the theory of dynamics in microwave chemistry, from the view of both physical level and molecular level. Microwave-Material Interactions simulation is used for physical dynamical analysis, while a Microwave-Molecules Interactions methodology is proposed for molecular dynamical analysis. In turn, calculational examples are introduced for better description and validation, respectively. Lastly, the book proposes design strategies and calculational examples for large-scale application.

Richly illustrated and including a wealth of worked-out examples, this book is ideal for all researchers, students and engineers who are just getting started in the dynamics of microwave chemistry.
