| Abstract: |
The proposed Visiting Fellowship
is to enable Professor Nosich of the Institute of Radio Physics and
Electronics of the National Academy of Sciences, Kharkov, Ukraine,
to work in the Electromagnetics Research Group (ERG) in the School
of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, University of Nottingham.
We request funding for a total visit period of 9 months, divided
into two long visits (of 4 and 3 months duration) and two short (2
week) visits over a period of two years. Professor Nosich's research
interests include electromagnetic wave scattering, radiation,
propagation and absorption studied by the analytical regularization
techniques, with applications to CAE and CAD of antennas, waveguides
and other microwave and optical technologies. These areas offer
broad synergy with the activities of the Nottingham group and so the
Fellowship will offer impetus to much of our research. In
particular, expert support will be provided for ongoing projects and
feasibility studies under the PLATFORM Grant GR/R90550/01. We
propose to integrate the powerful Integral Equation (IE/MAR)
techniques into a wide range of our existing numerical
electromagnetic simulation codes and apply IE/MAR techniques to
emerging application areas for the first time. We will assess,
optimise and establish figures of merit for the power, efficiency
and applicability of the codes. |
