History of High-Power Electromagnetics (HPEM) From the 1940s to the 21st Century
D. V. "Dave" Giri will discuss the history of High Power Electromagnetics (HPEM). HPEM is a comprehensive acronym to include EM waveforms such as natural lightning, nuclear electromagnetic pulse (NEMP), High-Power Microwaves (HPM), etc. The first decade of the 21st century has seen real and anecdotal evidence of RF Terrorism and IEMI HPEM source/antenna systems are being developed in many nations and also becoming commercially available. Developments in pulse-power technologies driving conventional and newer RF devices will lead to improved and more powerful source/antenna systems. An EMP attack is an example of RF terrorism by rogue countries and non-state actors, and the national infrastructure can be at risk. Cyber threats from hostile governments, terrorist groups and disgruntled employees are on the increase as well. It is prudent for civilized societies to asses such threats and take pro-active and precautionary actions.

Biography:
Dr. Giri obtained the B.Sc. degree from Mysore University, India, (1964), B.E., M.E., Indian Institute of Science, (1967) (1969), M.S., Ph.D., Harvard University, (1973) (1975), and a Certificate, Harvard Introduction to Business Program, (1981).
Dr. Giri has 45 years of work experience in the general field of electromagnetic theory and its applications in NEMP (Nuclear Electromagnetic Pulse), HPM (High-Power Microwaves), Lightning, and UWB (Ultra Wideband).
He has published three books and over 200 papers and reports, and has received numerous awards. Dr. Giri is an EMC Society Distinguished Lecturer for 2020-2021, and is a Life Fellow of the IEEE,
