Jane M. Lehr is an American electrical engineer whose research concerns pulsed power, liquid dielectrics, and ultra-wideband transmission. She is a professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of New Mexico, the former president of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society, and a coauthor of the book Foundations of Pulsed Power Technology.[1]
In 2013, she moved to the University of New Mexico as chair of the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering.[4]
Book
Lehr is a coauthor of the book Foundations of Pulsed Power Technology (with Pralhad Ron, Wiley and IEEE Press, 2018).
Recognition
Lehr was named an IEEE Fellow in 2008, "for contributions to high power switches for generating electromagnetic radiation".[6] She is the 2015 recipient of the Richard F. Shea Distinguished Member Award of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society, given to her "for outstanding contributions to the leadership of the IEEE Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society and the IEEE NPSS Pulsed Power Science and Technology Technical Committee".[7]
