VITA:

John Richard Cogdell was born May 24, 1936 in Quanah, Texas; son of Tom Houston Cogdell and Josephine Kennon Cogdell.  After attending the public schools in Archer City and Electra, Texas, he attended The University of Texas at Austin, 1954-1959 and graduated with BS and MS degrees in Electrical Engineering.  From Texas he moved to the Boston area to work at the MIT Lincoln Laboratory and attend Massachusetts Institute of Technology.  He received the PhD degree from MIT in 1963 and continued his work at Lincoln Laboratory for another one and one-half years before returning to Austin to join the UT Austin faculty.  His research at MIT involved studies of coupling between electromagnetic systems and moving, conducting fluids and has relevance to extracting energy from energetic plasma streams.  At Lincoln Laboratory, he commenced work in millimeter radio astronomy, which he continued as a faculty member at UT Austin.  During the period 1968-1974, he directed the engineering and observational work at the Millimeter Wave Observatory, Mt. Locke, Texas and published work in antenna theory, observational procedures, and radio astronomical.  Since that time, he has worked primarily in matters of undergraduate education, being the Undergraduate Advisor for the department and writing numerous educational materials.  A textbook, Introduction to Circuits and Electronics was published in 1986 and a second textbook, Foundations of Electrical Engineering, is in its second edition.  A third textbook, Modeling of Random Systems, in underway.
