cardDesc: We are research group in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, focusing on computational electromagnetics.
Dr.Zhen Peng is the principal investigator of the ACEM Research Group. He is currently an Associate Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.Previously, he was anAssistantProfessor at the Applied Electromagnetics Group, The University of New Mexico (2013-2019), and Senior Research Associate at ElectroScience Lab.
The classical electromagnetic (EM) theory guided by Maxwell’s Equations has been around for over 150 years. It has an incredible impact on many modern technologies such as antennas and wireless communication, integrated circuits and computer technologies, remote sensing, lasers and optoelectronics, and more. Nowadays, with the exponential growth in computing power, machine intelligence and data revolution, quantum technologies and materials, there are enormous opportunities to continue advancing fundamental EM theories towards next-generation technology developments and applications.
Our rudimentary research is the pursuit of mathematical and computational models that advance the understanding, prediction and discovery of classical, chaotic, and quantum wave phenomena. These models will allow for the design and optimization of novel electromagnetic systems at unprecedented scales, and contribute through education to the advancement of understanding.Our current and future research are concerned with four interrelated areas: (1) classical electromagnetism with scalable algorithms, (2) statistical electromagnetics: theories and practices, (3) quantum electromagnetics: simulating probability in space and time domain, and (4) chaotic reverberation chamber: measurement and control of uncertainties.
