UNM ECE Prof. Zhen Peng Wins Prestigious Awards Zhen Peng, Assistant Professor in Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has won the 2014 Sergei A. Schelkunoff Transactions Prize Paper Award. He has also recently received Young Scientist Award from General Assembly and Scientific Symposium of International Union of Radio Science (URSI GASS 2014), which is selected every three years. THE Sergei A. Schelkunoff Transactions Prize Paper Award is presented to the authors of the best paper published in the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ANTENNAS AND PROPAGATION during the previous year. The 2014 prize was awarded to Zhen Peng, Kheng-Hwee Lim and Jin-Fa Lee for “A Discontinuous Galerkin Surface Integral Equation Method for Electromagnetic Wave Scattering From Nonpenetrable targets”. The paper presents a novel discontinuous Galerkin boundary element method, which makes it possible to solve surface integral equations without any inter-element continuity condition and, at the same time, avoids the well-known instabilities of the magnetic field integral equation due to internal resonances. Such a feature is very desirable in practical and industrial applications. By relaxing the usual inter-element continuity condition of the method of moments (MoM), it offers a great flexibility for generating the surface mesh, refining an existing mesh locally and parallelization. 2014 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Symposium Award banquet The URSI Young Scientist Awards are presented at the General Assemblies of URSI to recognize an international group of individuals who have made innovative contributions and discoveries in multidiscipline research related to electromagnetic fields and waves. The award recognizes Dr. Zhen Peng’s work on efficient and robust integral equation based solution of large multi-scale electromagnetic problems. The results obtained through this research greatly simplify the model preparation and mesh generation for complex electromagnetic simulation. Moreover, this work provides an effective preconditioning scheme for the integral equation based solution of multi-scale problems. The strength and flexibility of the proposed method are illustrated by means of several challenge real-world applications. Dr. Zhen Peng joined Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering as Assistant Professor on August 1, 2013. He was a Senior Research Associate at the ElectroScience Laboratory at the Ohio State University (2010-2013). His research interests are directed towards a long-term goal of simulation-based engineering of multi-scale and multiphysics systems. His current research interests include: computational electromagnetics and multi-physics analysis, power integrity (PI) and signal integrity (SI) analyses of integrated circuits (ICs), electromagnetic compatibility/interference (EMC/EMI) analysis, simulation-based design of multi-scale metamaterials and reconfigurable antennas for wireless communication systems.
