Full Biographies
Capture full author biographies in a <bio>
element.
Note: This documentation is for the full author biograhies in the book front-matter and
is not to be confused with the author short bios documented in Biographies.
The <bio>
element must contain a @content-type
attribute with the value full-bio
.
If a book has multiple contributors then capture each inside seperate
<sec>
elements.
If the biography information contains images then capture each inside a
<fig>
element. See Figures for
instructions on how to capture figures.

He received the PhD in Physics in 1975 from the University of California, Santa Barbara, followed by postdoctoral studies at Temple University, Michigan State University, and George Washington University (NASA Langley Research Center). The research interests of Professor McGurn have included works in the theory of: magnetism in disorder materials, electron conductivity, the properties of phonons, ferroelectrics and their nonlinear dynamics, Anderson localization, amorphous materials, the scattering of light from disordered media and rough surfaces, the properties of speckle correlations of light, quantum optics, nonlinear optics, the dynamical properties of nonlinear systems, photonic crystals, and metamaterials. He has over 150 publications spread amongst these various topics. Since 1981, he has taught physics at Western Michigan University, where he is currently a Professor of Physics and a WMU Distinguished Faculty Scholar. A number of PhD students have graduated from Western Michigan University under his supervision.</p> </sec> </bio>
