\vfill does not work with \begin{IEEEbiography}

Post by fadl »

Hi all
I am not sure why I did not find this query before.
I use \begin{IEEEbiography} but there is long space between the authors I used \Vfill a lots after each author but with small change.
I attached my file, copy it below and I appreciate if I have solution for this problem.

Code: Select all

\documentclass[journal]{IEEEtran}
\usepackage[pdftex]{graphicx}
\usepackage{times,epsfig,amsmath}
\usepackage {verbatim}
\begin{document}

%\begin{IEEEbiography}[{\includegraphics[width=1in,height=1.25in,clip,keepaspectratio]{fadl.pdf}}]{Fadhl M. Al-Akwaa}
\begin{IEEEbiographynophoto}{Fadhl M. Al-Akwaa}
ENG. Fadhl Mohamed Al-akwaa  is PhD Researcher. at Systems and Biomedical Engineering. He got B.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering (2003), M.Sc. in Biomedical Engineering (2003). Eng. Al-Akwaa joined University of Science and Technology in 2006 where he is currently assistance lecture. His research interests are concentrated in the fields System Biology, Glucose Regulatory System, Gene Regulatory Network, Graphical Model, and Bioinformatics.

% You can push biographies down or up by placing

% use of \vfill depends on what kind of text is
% on the last page and whether or not the columns
% are being equalized.

% Can be used to pull up biographies so that the bottom of the last one

Re: \vfill does not work with \begin{IEEEbiography}

Once you have written one \vfill, those going right after have no effect. If you want to push down all the three biographies, put just only one \vfill before them (and none between them!) If you want to push up biographies, \vfill comes below them. Remember: only one \vfill at the right place.

By the way, you are using an outdated preamble. Don't load epsfig, it suffices with graphicx (with no optional argument in \usepackage; graphicx will automatically detect which driver to use). Don't load times, but mathptmx.
