Electromagnetics, optics, and remote sensing
Research in electromagnetics involves the creation, transmission, and recognition of electromagnetic energy. Traditionally considered a sub-discipline of electromagnetics, optics harnesses the properties of light to perform a variety of actions. Remote sensing uses electromagnetics to collect data about distant activities and has many applications, including predicting weather.
Current research projects in these areas include development of fast algorithms and high-order numerical methods in computational electromagnetics; development of numerical techniques for multi-scale and multi-physics modeling that can be used to study electromagnetic phenomena and improve system performance; reconfigurable antennas that can be used in multifunctional, cognitive, and sensing systems; and remote sensing of the atmosphere to analyze and predict performance problems with GPS and other communication systems; electrical performance of integrated systems and packages; and development of computer-aided design tools for high-speed circuits and communication networks.
