Electromagnetics Research


The faculty members in this area are involved in active research in nondestructive testing, finite elements, time-domain scattering, wave propagation in unbounded region and layered media electromagnetics. Research also includes numerical modeling for large scale computation of electromagnetic fields and parallel computing. Novel methods for improvement of electromagnetic and ultrasonic testing methods as well as eddy current probe design and microwave devices are also investigated.

Faculty and graduate research projects include:
Computational electromagnetics
Propagation and scattering of electromagnetic waves
Electromagnetic compatibility, antennas and communication systems
Nondestructive testing of materials
Electromagnetic theory and computation
Finite element analysis
Application of multigrid methods
Electromagnetic problems in geophysics and oil exploration
Modeling of magnetic recording media
