DESCRIPTION:The U of T Student Chapter of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation
  Society (AP-S) (https://edu.ieee.org/ca-uotaps/) invites you to the inaug
 ural talk of our 2020-2021 seminar series:\n\n“A Novel Meshless Method f
 or Solving Inhomogeneous and Anisotropic Electromagnetic Problems”\, pre
 sented by the IEEE Distinguished Lecturer\, Professor Meisong Tong\, on Fr
 iday\, Dec. 04\, 9 AM ET.\n\nAbstract: Volume integral equations (VIEs) ar
 e indispensable for solving inhomogeneous and/or anisotropic electromagnet
 ic (EM) problems by integral equation approach. The solution of VIEs stron
 gly relies on the appropriate discretization of volume integral domains\, 
 and tetrahedral discretization is usually preferred for arbitrarily-shaped
  geometries. Unlike discretizing a surface domain\, the discretization of 
 a volume domain could be very difficult in practice and special commercial
  software is needed in general even for a simple and regular geometry. To 
 reduce the cost of discretizing volume domains\, especially remove the con
 straint of mesh conformity required by the traditional method of moments (
 MoM)\, we propose a novel meshless method for solving the VIEs recently. T
 he method is based on the transformation of volume integrals into boundary
  or surface integrals through the Green–Gauss theorem when integral kern
 els are regularized by excluding a small cylinder or cube enclosing an obs
 ervation node. The original integral domain represented by the object is a
 lso expanded to a cylindrical or cubic domain circumscribing the object to
  facilitate the evaluation of boundary integrals. The singular integrals o
 ver the small cylinder or cube are specially handled with singularity subt
 raction techniques. Numerical examples for solving inhomogeneous and aniso
 tropic EM problems are presented to illustrate the method and good results
  can be observed.\n\nBio: Meisong Tong received the B.S. and M.S. Degrees 
 from Huazhong University of Science and Technology\, Wuhan\, China\, respe
 ctively\, and Ph.D. degree from Arizona State University\, Tempe\, Arizona
 \, USA\, all in electrical engineering. He is currently the Distinguished 
 Professor and Head of Department of Electronic Science and Technology\, an
 d Vice Dean of College of Microelectronics\, Tongji University\, Shanghai\
 , China. He has also held an adjunct professorship at the University of Il
 linois at Urbana-Champaign\, Urbana\, Illinois\, USA\, and an honorary pro
 fessorship at the University of Hong Kong\, China. He has published more t
 han 400 papers in refereed journals and conference proceedings and co-auth
 ored six books or book chapters. His research interests include electromag
 netic field theory\, antenna theory and design\, simulation and design of 
 RF/microwave circuits and devices\, interconnect and packaging analysis\, 
 inverse electromagnetic scattering for imaging\, and computational electro
 magnetics. In 2018\, he was selected as the Distinguished Lecturer (DL) of
  IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society for 2019-2021.\n\nToronto\, Ontario
