Putting Mathematics in Context: An Integrative Approach Using Matlab

Micah Stickel is a lecturer in Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at the University of Toronto. He first came to the department when he started as an undergraduate student in 1993. Since that time, he has completed the B.A.Sc. (1997), M.A.Sc. (1999), and Ph.D. degrees (2006). He has been involved in a number of research projects, including the use of spiral antennas for Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) systems, the design of high-fidelity directional couplers for digital circuits, and the application of micromachining techniques in the fabrication of bandpass filters for broadband wireless systems. He has also worked as a post-doctoral researcher in the developing field of three-dimensional metamaterials. He is interested in advancing the art of engineering education through the appropriate use of technology both in and outside of the classroom. As well, he has recently become more involved in the department’s efforts to highlight the many engineering applications of electricity and magnetism to high school students.
