Research

Nonlinear phenomena in ferromagnetics, electromagnetics, and microwave networks; nonlinear transmission lines for pulse sharpening and frequency multiplication.

Application

Accurate physical modelling of high-order ferromagnetic hysteretic behavior in energy–conversion systems and for generalized magnetics design software; pulse diagnostics in plasma physics, signal regeneration in ultra-high-speed computer and communications systems, frequency multiplication.

Activities

• Cooperative research projects with the Institute of Microwaves and Photonics (IMEP), Universite Joseph-Fourier, Grenoble, France
