Associate Professor, Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering
Dr. Jim Browning holds a Ph.D. in Nuclear Engineering and Engineering Physics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. After years of experience in research and development in Field Emission Displays(FEDs) and other display technologies, he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Boise State University in 2006. Dr. Browning's research interests include the study of microwave vacuum electron devices (MVEDs), plasmas for electric propulsion using inductively coupled plasma (ICP) sources and low temperature co-fired ceramics (LTCC) for thruster structures, and the charging and interaction of planetary dust in space environments.
