Funding has been awarded to a team of University of Nottingham researchers for a 30-month collaborative project for the US Office of Naval Research Global, “Propagating electromagnetic signals through complex built-up structures – Resilience of electronic components in the presence of EM noise and environmental uncertainty”.
The project will be carried out in a collaboration between the School of Mathematical Sciences (Dr. Gregor Tanner (who is Principal Investigator and will become a Professor of Mathematical Physics in August), Dr. Stephen Creagh and Dr. Gabriele Gradoni) and the George Green Institute (Prof. David Thomas, Dr. Steve Greedy and Dr. Chris Smart).
Dr. Gradoni (Mathematical Sciences) is also one of this year’s winners of the Young Scientist Awards at the triennial ElectroMagnetic Theory Symposium (EMTS) 2016, which will be held in Espoo, Finland, this August. The paper awarded is: Transfer operator approach for cavities with apertures (Gabriele Gradoni, Stephen Creagh and Gregor Tanner), research supported by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC).
Dr. Gradoni has also accepted the Best Paper Award, along with PhD candidate Hayan Nasser (Nottingham), at the third IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for Aerospace in Florence, Italy (June 2016), for the paper: High Frequency Propagation in Large and Multiply Connected Electromagnetic Environments (Hayan Nasser, Christopher Smartt, David Thomas, Gabriele Gradoni, Davide Micheli, Stephen Creagh, Gregor Tanner). This research was supported by the EPSRC and a grant from Telecom Italia Lab, Rome, Italy.
As well as his research at The University of Nottingham, Dr. Gradoni will collaborate with Prof. Angelo Vulpiani (Sapienza University of Rome, Italy) on a one-year Royal Society International Exchange Grant. The collaboration is aimed at developing new wave modelling techniques based on statistical mechanics theories.
