Briefing of Computational Electromagnetics in Temasek Laboratories at

NUS: Problem Oriented CEM Development for Wave Propagation and

Scattering Modeling Using Integral Equations

(Abstract)

Efficient computational electromagnetic (CEM) modeling of wave propagation and scattering problems is becoming increasingly important in electrical engineering. Many CEM methods and techniques have been developed for analyzing and designing RF/microwave devices, bio-medical applications, EMC/EMI evaluation, and so on. This talk will give a briefing of our research activities in developing fast integral equation solves for realizing efficient CEM modeling of real problems in Temasek Laboratories (TL) @ NUS, which covers: (1) Background introduction of some real EM problems; (2) Introduction of some integral equations used in computational electromagnetics; (3) Methodologies developed in TL @ NUS; (4) Examples simulated to show our TL CEM capabilities; and (5) Methodologies to be developed. Moreover, this talk will also slightly discuss the limitations of current CEM methods and the possible directions in my personal view.

(Dr Chao-Fu Wang received the B.Sc. degree in mathematics from the Henan Normal University, China, in 1985, the M.Sc. degree in applied mathematics from the Hunan University, China, in 1989, and the Ph.D.

degree in electrical engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China in 1995. From 1987 to 1996, he was a Lecturer, and then an Associate Professor at the Nanjing University of Science and Technology, China. From 1996 to 1999, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Center for Computational Electromagnetics, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. From 1999 to 2001, he was a Research Fellow in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, National University of Singapore (NUS), Singapore. He was transferred to Temasek Laboratories at NUS as a Research Scientist in 2001, where he currently is a Senior Research Scientist and Head of Propagation & Scattering Group. His research interests include fast algorithms for computational electromagnetics, scattering and antenna analysis, ferrite components and their analysis, MMIC design and fast EM simulation.)
