Subhashini Chitta received her Ph.D. degree in May 2009 from the University of Tennessee Space Institute (UTSI) and studied under Dr. John Steinhoff at UTSI. While at UTSI, she worked on a new numerical method “Wave Confinement” to propagate short wave equation pulses. This method represents a breakthrough in high frequency wave simulation. The new method is important in many areas of wave propagation, from acoustic and radar scattering and long distance communications to cell phone transmission.
