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.

    </fig>Professor Emeritus Arthur R McGurn, CPhys, FInstP, is a Fellow of
  the Institute of Physics, a Fellow of the American Physical Society, a
  Fellow of the Optical Society of America, a Fellow of the
  Electromagnetics Academy, and an Outstanding Referee for the journals of
  the American Physical Society. 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>
