+# Biographical Sketch
 Dr. Zhen Peng is currently an Associate Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE ILLINOIS), University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He earned his Ph.D. degree in electromagnetics and microwave engineering from the Chinese Academy of Science, Beijing, China, in 2008. From 2008 to 2013, he was with the ElectroScience Laboratory, The Ohio State University, Columbus, OH, USA, first as a Postdoctoral Fellow, from 2008 to 2009, and then as a Senior Research Associate, from 2010 to 2013. From 2013 to 2019, he was an Assistant Professor with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, The University of New Mexico, Albuquerque, NM, USA.
 
 His research interests are in the area of computational, statistical, and applied electromagnetics. The goal is to develop mathematical and computational models that advance the understanding, prediction, and discovery of classical, chaotic, and quantum wave phenomena. These models allow for the design and optimization of novel electromagnetic systems at unprecedented scales, and contribute through education to the advancement of understanding. The recent research is focused on four interrelated areas: (1) classical electromagnetism with scalable algorithms, (2) statistical electromagnetics: theories and practices, (3) quantum electromagnetics: simulating probability in space and time domain, and (4) fusion of wave physics and quantum computing in wireless communication.
 
 His research work has an impact on both civilian and commercial engineering applications, including advanced antenna design, radio frequency integrated circuits, electromagnetic interference and compatibility, signal and power integrity, and wireless communication. work has received support from NSF CAREER, NSF EPSRC-ECCS, NSF CCF, AFOSR Center of Excellence, ONR CDEW, DARPA WARDEN, Army SBIR, Navy STTR, Sandia National Laboratories, Lockheed Martin Aeronautics in California, CST-Computer Simulation Technology in Germany, DSO National Laboratories in Singapore, and VERUS Research in New Mexico.
