THE ELECTROMAGNETICS ACADEMY founded by Professor JIN AU KONG

The ElectroMagnetics Academy (TEMA), founded by the late Professor Jin Au Kong (1942 - 2008) at MIT on 3 May 1989, is a nonprofit educational institution registered in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, USA. TEMA is governed by a Board of Directors and operated by an Executive Committee consisting of the President, Vice President, Director of Operations, and Chairs of Committees.

TEMA is committed to academic excellence and the advancement of research and applications in electromagnetic theory, while also supporting the educational objectives of the electromagnetics profession. With the vision of "Advancing Photonics and Electromagnetics Science and Technology Without Borders for the Benefit of Humanity," TEMA aims to propel scientific and technological progress, nurture the next generation of leaders, and recognize those who contribute to advancements in photonics and electromagnetics

TEMA fosters the sharing, dissemination, and discovery of knowledge in photonics and electromagnetics, while facilitating collaborative synergies between mathematicians, physicists, and engineers. It encourages both curiosity-driven research in science and technology-inspired research in engineering. This knowledge contributes to advancing global standards and improving the quality of life worldwide. Additionally, TEMA is committed to mentoring and supporting junior researchers, scientists, and engineers, who will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of technologies related to electromagnetics.
