IRC for Communication Systems and Sensing organized a seminar in collaboration with the Electrical Engineering Department titled “From Antennas to Humans: The Evolving Role of FDTD in Computational Electromagnetics”, delivered by Prof. Atef Elsherbeni, Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Colorado School of Mines, IEEE Life Fellow, and ACES Fellow.

The seminar highlighted recent advances in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, including integrated electromagnetic–circuit modeling, dispersive material representation for biological tissues, and GPU-accelerated large-scale simulations. These developments enable more realistic, human-centric analysis of modern wireless and wearable technologies.

The talk emphasized the evolving role of advanced electromagnetic simulation as a comprehensive tool for understanding interactions between wireless systems and the human body.
