Electromagnetic fields research spans antennas and arrays, scattering, inverse scattering, millimeter waves, computational electromagnetics, bioelectromagnetics, subsurface sensing, electromagnetic compatibility and electromagnetic interference, microwave and high-speed digital circuits, and optics.
A nationally regarded, major research center on campus is studying the computer simulations of electromagnetic fields with complex structures. Researchers in the center have developed algorithms to solve complex electromagnetic problems that are many times faster than the previous algorithms, a feat that will impact the analysis of electromagnetic scattering and allow complex real-world problems to be solved using computer simulations.
