Raymond J. Luebbers founded Remcom, a company that creates electromagnetic simulation software based on the Finite-difference time-domain method. He received the B.S.E.E. from the University of Cincinnati with High Honors, and M.S.E.E. and PhD in Electrical Engineering from The Ohio State University. He was Professor of Electrical Engineering at Ohio University, Athens, Ohio, and a Research Scientist at the Lockheed Research Laboratory in Palo Alto, CA. In 1984 he joined the Electrical Engineering Department of The Pennsylvania State University. During the 1991-1992 academic year he was an NSF Visiting Professor in the Faculty of Engineering, Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan. While a Professor at Penn State he founded Remcom Inc. In December of 2001 he resigned from Penn State, retaining the title of Adjunct Professor.
Dr. Luebbers has published widely in the areas of analysis of frequency selective surfaces, applications of the Geometrical Theory of Diffraction, and applications and extensions of the Finite Difference Time Domain Method. He is co-author of a book on application of FDTD to electromagnetics. He has made invited presentations and presented short courses at several international meetings. The paper "FDTD Calculation of Scattering from Frequency-Dependent Materials," by R. Luebbers, D. Steich, and K. Kunz, received the 1993 Schelkunoff Best Paper Award of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society.
He has served on the Board of Directors and as Vice-President of the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES). He is a Member of International Union of Radio Science (URSI) Commission B, and is a member of IEEE Standards Coordinating Committee 34 on Electromagnetic Energy Product Performance Safety.
While President of Remcom Inc, Dr. Luebbers lead it to international recognition as an innovator and developer of commercial electromagnetic analysis software. Remcom Inc also performs research and development under contract to government and industry. Remcom was one of only five companies to receive a 2001 US Army Small Business Innovative Research Quality Award.
Dr. Luebbers retired from Remcom, Inc. in July 2008 but still consults with the company regularly.
