Autor

David Yevick, P. Eng. (Ontario) is Professor of Physics at the University of Waterloo, Canada. He received his A.B. and Ph.D. degrees respectively from Harvard University in Physics (1973) and Princeton University in Particle Physics (1977). Dr. Yevick is a leading scientist in the numerical simulation of optical communication systems, in particular electric field propagation in guided-wave optics, optical processes in semiconductors, and communication system modeling. Dr. Yevick is a fellow of the APS, OSA, and IEEE. Hannah Yevick holds a Ph.D. in Biological Physics from the Curie Institute, France, as well as a M.A. from Columbia University, and a B.A. from the University of Pennsylvania in Physics. Her experience with the Physics GRE and graduate comprehensive exams has enhanced the text.
