Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) research is a pillar ofEES (Electrical energy System) group within the Electrical Engineering Faculty.We develop advanced modeling and measurement techniques that will help the designers of electronic systems to fully understand and simulate the key factors leading to potential degradation of signals in their systems at an early stage of the design process. The research focus ranges from “small” systems (e.g. noise propagation in integrated circuits) up to “large” ones (e.g. lightning protection of aircrafts). The innovative modeling and measurement techniques are rooted in advanced analytical electromagnetics, statistical electromagnetics and simulation techniques.
