Wireless devices such as mobile phones, tablets etc. have become part of our daily life.

Emerging Technologies, 5G/6G, Autonomous Driving, automated delivery systems, smart homes, smart cities will revolutionize the way we live, work, and communicate soon. A key component in all these technologies is an antenna or multiple antennas that are used for transmitting and receiving signals. As a result, many products we use today and will be using soon, will need to incorporate antennas that are efficient and can fit within the space available in the device. Advances in simulation technology using computational electromagnetic tools have made possible antenna design and integration of antennas into various devices.

In this talk, we will review advances in EM computational methods in the context of product design process in various industries.

Biography:

Dr. C.J. Reddy is Siemens Fellow at Siemens Digital Industries Software. He served as Vice President, Business Development-Electromagnetics for Americas at Altair from 2014 to 2025 and transitioned to Siemens, with the acquisition of Altair by Siemens. Dr. Reddy was awarded the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council (NSERC) of Canada Visiting Fellowship to work at Communications Research Center in Ottawa during 1991-1993 and was awarded the US National Research Council (NRC) Resident Research Associateship in 1993 to work at NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia. He also worked as Research Professor at Hampton University from 1995 to 2000. Dr. Reddy was the President of Applied EM, Inc (2000-2017) where he led several Phase I and Phase II SBIR projects for the DoD and NASA. He was also the President of EM Software & Systems (USA) Inc (2002-2014) and led the marketing of the EM Simulation tool, Feko in North America. EM Software & Systems (USA) Inc was acquired by Altair in 2014. 

Dr. Reddy is a Fellow of IEEE, Fellow of ACES (Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society) and a Fellow of AMTA (Antenna Measurement Techniques Association). Dr. Reddy is a co-author of the book, “Antenna Analysis and Design Using FEKO Electromagnetic Simulation Software,” published in June 2014 by SciTech Publishing (now part of IET). Dr. Reddy served as an Associate Editor for IEEE Open Journal of Antennas of Propagation and IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation. He served as the Chair of IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Young Professionals Committee during 2021-2024 and served on the AP-S AdCom during 2023-2024. Dr. Reddy is appointed to IEEE Fellows Committee by IEEE Board of Directors for the terms 2020-2021 and 2022-2023. Currently, Dr. Reddy is serving as the 2026 IEEE AP-S President. Dr. Reddy is inducted into IEEE Heritage Circle by the IEEE Foundation for establishing the "IEEE AP-S CJ Reddy Travel Grant for Graduate Students."
