Higher-Order FDTD Schemes for Waveguides and Antenna Structures / Synthesis Lectures on Computational Electromagnetics (PDF)

Nikolaos V. Kantartzis received the Diploma degree and Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1994 and 1999, respectively. In 1999, he joined the Applied and Computational Electromagnetic Laboratory, Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, AUTH, as a Postdoctoral Research Fellow. He has authored or coauthored several refereed journal papers in the area of computational electromagnetics and especially higher order finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, perfectly matched layers (PMLs), nonorthogonal discretization algorithms, vector finite elements and alternating-direction implicit (ADI) formulations. His main research interests include time- and frequency-domain electromagnetic and acoustic analysis, EMC modeling, modern microwave circuits, antenna structures and metamaterials. Theodoros D. Tsiboukis received the Diploma Degree in electrical and mechanical engineering from the National Technical University of Athens, Athens, Greece, in 1971, and the Doctor Engineer Degree from the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), Thessaloniki, Greece, in 1981. From 1981 to 1982, he was with the Electrical Engineering Department, University of Southampton, U.K., as a Senior Research Fellow. Since 1982, he has been with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (DECE), AUTH, where he is currently a Professor. He has served in many administrative positions, including Director of the Division of Telecommunications at the DECE (1993-1997) and Chairman of the DECE (1997-2001). He is also the Head of the Advanced and Computational Electromagnetics Laboratory at the DECE. His main research interests include electromagnetic field analysis by energy methods, computational electromagnetics (FEM, BEM, vector finite elements, MoM, FDTD method, absorbing boundary conditions), inverse problems, EMC applications and metamaterials. He has authored or coauthored six
