About the Presenter:

Andreas Cangellaris is M. E. Van Valkenburg Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, at the University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign.  Professor Cangellaris received his Diploma in Electrical Engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1981, and the MS and PhD degrees in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Berkeley, in 1983 and 1985.  Professor Cangellaris has spent over twenty years in academia, first at the University of Arizona (1987-1997) and then at the University of Illinois (1997 – to date).  Professor Cangellaris’ current teaching and research interests include computational electromagnetics; CAD methodologies and tools for signal and power distribution network design in high-speed/high-frequency electronics; EMI/EMC modeling and simulation; and technqiues for MEMS CAD.  Professor Cangellaris is a Fellow of IEEE and serves as Editor of the IEEE Press Series on Electromagnetic Field Theory.  In 2005 he received the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award from Germany for his contributions to engineering applications of electromagnetic field theory.

About the Talk:

State-of-the-art electromagnetic (EM) field solvers and CAD tools are empowering high-frequency electronics designers with unprecedented capability and expediency in EM device conceptualization, design, optimization and prototyping.  This is particularly true at the component and (small) sub-system level, where modeling complexity is manageable enough for state-of-the-art EM CAD tools to be used with confidence and solution efficiency consistent with the stringent time-to-market requirements.  Yet, as functionality integration continues to escalate and product form factor continues to shrink, designers demand system-level EM CAD support of performance commensurate to that at the component level.  This talk addresses this challenge and suggests near-term solutions to overcoming the modeling and computational complexity encountered in complex sub-system and system-level computer-aided electromagnetic analysis.
