Daryl G. Beetner (Fellow, IEEE) received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Southern Illinois University, Edwardsville, IL, USA, in 1990, and the M.S. and D.Sc. degrees in electrical engineering from Washington University, St. Louis MO, USA, in 1994 and 1997, respectively. He is employed with the Missouri University of Science and Technology, Rolla, MO, USA (Missouri S&T), where he is a Professor of electrical and computer engineering and is the former Department Chair. He is the Director of the Missouri S&T Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory and is the Director of the Center for Electromagnetic Compatibility, a National Science Foundation Industry/University Cooperative Research Center. He was the 2020 recipient of the IEEE EMC Society Technical Achievement Award and the 2003 IEEE-HKN C. Holmes MacDonald Outstanding Young Electrical Engineering Professor and has won a number of best paper awards including the 2018 Richard B. Schulz Best Transaction Paper award honorable mention. He currently serves the IEEE EMC Society as the EMC Education Grants Chair, the Chair of TC-4 Electromagnetic Interference Control, and as a member of the EMCS Board of Directors. He serves IEEE as the Chair of the IEEE Medal for Environmental and Safety Technologies selection committee, as a member of the IEEE Medals Council, and as a member of the IEEE-HKN Outstanding Young Professional committee. His research interests span a wide variety of topics including electromagnetic immunity and emissions from the integrated circuit to the system level.
