Nullspace: Software for large-scale electromagnetic design and analysis
Nullspace, Inc. was launched as a spin-off from IERUS Technologies, an established defense contractor in Huntsville, AL. Nullspace focuses on delivering advanced engineering software for electromagnetics applications. Nullspace offers three products commercially: Nullspace EM – an EM simulation software designed for solving large-scale EM problems for defense, aerospace, automotive, and communications applications; Nullspace Prep – CAD and meshing pre-processor that integrates with Nullspace EM; and Nullspace ES – the world’s only commercial electrostatic solver for extremely large-scale design and analysis in quantum computing.
In this presentation, we will focus on challenging aspects of electrically large antenna designs. Phased array design and analysis is complicated through the necessary use of multi-layered radomes for environmental protection. Designers must be able to understand the impacts of the radome on array performance such as beamsteering error and cross-polarization isolation. Similarly, graded-index lenses provide gain enhancement and reduce gain roll-off. However, they are historically complicated to design and produce. Nullspace EM empowers users to rapidly and accurately analyze these complex structures to ensure designs meet intended performance. Case studies will be presented for several realistic examples.

Daniel Faircloth, PhD of Nullspace, Inc
Nullspace Electromagnetic Solver
Biography:
Daniel Faircloth, PhD
CTO and Board Director
Dr. Faircloth is Founder and CTO of Nullspace. He is also a co-founder of IERUS Technologies, a 200+ employee defense contractor supporting development of cutting-edge US government technologies ranging from hypersonics to radars.
Dr. Faircloth is internationally recognized expert in high-fidelity EM simulation methods, RF material measurements, and EM design optimization. He has overseen more than 65 research and development contracts for the US government totaling over $32M in funding for advances in electromagnetics and multi-physics simulation, novel multi-/wideband antennas and phased arrays, machine learning, and signal processing. He has given numerous conference presentations in both international electromagnetics and defense-related forums. He has taught numerous short courses in GPU acceleration, design optimization, and radar cross section reduction and is co-inventor on 5 patents or patents-pending.
The technology developed under Dr. Faircloth’s leadership, now part of the Nullspace ecosystem of products, have enabled companies to solve some of the most challenging problems in radar, antennas, microwave devices, and quantum computing.
Dr. Faircloth holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Auburn University. His doctoral work focused on application of advanced computational electromagnetics methods to the autonomous design and optimization of novel RF devices.

Auburn University Research and Innovation Campus
The Auburn University Research and Innovation Campus has quickly become the Huntsville community’s primary connection to the research and resources of Auburn University.
Only minutes from the Gate 9 entrance to Redstone Arsenal, the facility’s highly visible 9-acre property is located within Huntsville's Cummings Research Park close to numerous defense and aerospace collaborators, as well as the Bridge Street commercial development and Hudson Alpha.
Home to the Auburn University Applied Research Institute, the campus facilitates cross-domain collaboration among agencies, and supplies our partners access to our talented student researchers pursuing fields in Defense, Aerospace and Biotech sectors. It is well equipped to support applied research and development work for Huntsville / Redstone customers as well as hosting alumni and development events.
