Nota Biographica*
Wolfgang J. R. Hoefer gradum Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.) ab Universitate Technica (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule – RWTH) Aquisgrani in Germania anno 1965 accepit, atque gradum Docteur-Ingénieur (D. Ing.) ab Universitate Gratianopolitana (Université de Grenoble) in Gallia anno 1968. Anno 2007, honorem Doktor-Ingenieur honoris causa (Dr.-Ing. h.c.) ab Universitate Technica Monacensi (Technische Universität München – TUM) in Germania adeptus est.
Curriculum suum iniit ut investigator postdoctoralis et lector apud Institutum Universitarium Technologiae (Institut Universitaire de Technologie – IUT) in Gratianopoli. Anno 1969, Universitati Ottaviensi (University of Ottawa) ut membrum facultatis se adiunxit, ubi per tres annos munere Praesidis Ingerniariae Electricae functus est. Anno 1992, Professor et Praeses Investigativus Industrialis NSERC in Universitate Victoriana Columbiae Britannicae (University of Victoria, BC) creatus est. Ibi Laboratorium Computationis Electromagneticae (Computational Electromagnetics Research Laboratory – CERL) condidit atque direxit usque ad honorem emeriti anno 2006. Postea, per triennium munus Praecipui Scientiae (Principal Scientist) et Directoris Departmenti Investigationis Independensium apud Institutum Computationis Altae (Institute of High Performance Computing – IHPC) in Singapura gessit. Hodie, Professor Emeritus est apud Universitatem Victorianam, Canada.
Per totam vitam academicam, Professor Hoefer munera hospitii apud multas Universitates et Instituta in toto orbe terrarum suscepit, inter quas Universitates Gratianopolitanam, Romae Tor Vergata, Nicae-Sophiae Antipolis, Perusinam, Monacensem, Duisburgensem, necnon Institutum Ferdinandi Braun Berolini, ETH Zürich, AEG-Telefunken Backnangense, CRC Ottaviensem, Institutum Computationis Altae Singapurae, et Institutum Technologiae Georgiae (Georgia Institute of Technology) Atlantense, Georgiae, Civitatibus Foederatis Americae. Extra ambitum academicum, conditor est Faustus Scientific Corporation, ubi per viginti et unum annos Praesidis et Procuratoris Generalis (CEO) officia implevit.
Professor Hoefer late celebratur ob contributiones praeclaras in campo Ingerniariae Electricae et Electronicae. Honoratus est titulis Fellow Vitae Instituti Ingerniariae Electricae et Electronicae (IEEE) atque Socius plurium Academiarum et consociationum internationalium, inter quas Regalis Societas Canadae (RSC), Academia Scientiae et Ingerniariae Germaniae (ACATECH), Academia Canadensis Ingerniariae (CAE), Institutum Ingerniariae Canadae (EIC), Societas Computationis Electromagneticae Applicatae (ACES), et Academia Electromagnetica apud MIT (EMA).
Per totam suam vitam academicam, Professor Hoefer multa munera ducis sustinuit. Una cum Peter B. Johns condidit International Journal of Numerical Modelling (J. Wiley & Sons) et per 21 annos eius Editor Praefectus functus est. Praeterea per tres annos Editor Socius IEEE Transactions on Microwave Theory and Techniques fuit. Insuper, per 14 annos praefuit atque co-praefuit IEEE MTT-15 Technical Committee on Field Theory (nunc MTT TC-1), et per tres annos munere Distinguished Microwave Lecturer apud IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (IEEE MTT-S) functus est.
Eius notabiles contributiones ei praeclaros honores attulerunt, inter quos IEEE MTT-S Microwave Career Award, IEEE MTT-S Microwave Pioneer Award, IEEE MTT-S Distinguished Educator Award, IEEE Canada McNaughton Award and Gold Medal, Most Inspiring Mentor Award ab A*STAR Singapore, ACES Mainstay Award, et Peter Johns Prize. Secundum Universitatem Stanfordianam et Elsevier, Professor Hoefer inter summos 2% scientiarum per orbem terrarum collocatur.
