+You’ll find this post in your `_posts` directory. Go ahead and edit it and re-build the site to see your changes. You can rebuild the site in many different ways, but the most common way is to run `jekyll serve`, which launches a web server and auto-regenerates your site when a file is updated.
+
+Jekyll requires blog post files to be named according to the following format:
+
+`YEAR-MONTH-DAY-title.MARKUP`
+
+Where `YEAR` is a four-digit number, `MONTH` and `DAY` are both two-digit numbers, and `MARKUP` is the file extension representing the format used in the file. After that, include the necessary front matter. Take a look at the source for this post to get an idea about how it works.
+
+Jekyll also offers powerful support for code snippets:
+
+{% highlight ruby %}
+def print_hi(name)
+  puts "Hi, #{name}"
+end
+print_hi('Tom')
+#=> prints 'Hi, Tom' to STDOUT.
+{% endhighlight %}
+
+Check out the [Jekyll docs][jekyll-docs] for more info on how to get the most out of Jekyll. File all bugs/feature requests at [Jekyll’s GitHub repo][jekyll-gh]. If you have questions, you can ask them on [Jekyll Talk][jekyll-talk].

+
+## 2020 IEEE AP-S Student Paper Competition 3rd Place Winner
+
+Our Paper “Statistical Analysis of Information Transmission in Ray-Chaotic Enclosures: A Stochastic Green's Function Approach” (Shen Lin and Zhen Peng) won the 3rd place in Student Paper Competition (SPC) at 2020 IEEE International Symposium on Antennas and Propagation and North American Radio Science Meeting (2020 IEEE AP-S). A total of 203 student papers entered into the SPC this year.
+
+There has been much interest in studying the physics of wireless channels in strongly scattering, indoor environments displaying ray chaotic dynamics. This paper presents a physics-based mathematical model, so-called stochastic Green’s function, built upon Wigner’s random matrix theory and Berry random wave hypothesis. The work can be used to characterize the channel capacity, spatial correlation, and coherence bandwidth based on macroscopic knowledge of the propagation environment.
+
+## 2019 28th Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and System Best Paper Award
+
+Our Paper “A Novel Space-Time Building Block Methodology for Transient Electromagnetic Analysis” (Shu Wang and Zhen Peng) received the Best Paper Award at 28th Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and System (EPEPS2019). 
+    
+We proposed a space-time building block methodology for efficient time-domain analysis of multi-scale, locally periodic structures. By leveraging the principles of linear superposition and space-time causality in wave physics, the 4D simulation domain is represented by a few space-time building blocks, which are constructed upon 3D spatial unit cell and 1D time unit. The work results in novel time-evolution schemes, which exhibit high-order accuracy and achieve concurrency and parallelism in both spatial and temporal dimensions.

+## 2019 ACES Symposium 1st Place in Student Paper Competition

+Mr. Shu Wang received the 1st place in the student paper competition at 2019 International Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES) Symposium. The title of the paper is “Platform-aware In-situ Antenna and Metamaterial Analysis and Design”. Congratulations to Shu!
+
+The objective of this paper is to build a reconfigurable, reusable, and parallel model reduction platform towards transformative in-situ antenna design. The key idea is to introduce a separable and compressible platform Green’s function in an up-front offline computation. Once obtained, the online computational complexity does not depend on the size of the in-situ platform. As a result, in-situ design and optimization of multi-antenna systems can be performed at the same cost as the free-space radiation. The advancements make high-fidelity in-situ antenna design orders of magnitude faster. It is a joint work with Dr. Brian MacKie-Mason and Dr. Hongwei Gao.
+
+## 2019 ACES Symposium Short Course
+
+Ever-increasing fidelity and accuracy needs for advanced electromagnetic (EM) applications have been pushing the problem sizes towards extreme scales. It puts a high premium on the investigation of high-performance algorithms with optimal computational complexity. In recent years, domain decomposition (DD) methods have enjoyed considerable success in solving large multi-scale EM problems. These methods feature divide-and-conquer in solution algorithms (applying the most suitable solution strategy to solve each sub-problem) and plug-in-play in software architectures (integrating individual EM solvers into a portable and extensible solution suite). They also result in highly efficient and naturally parallelizable algorithms on distributed memory many-core parallel computing systems. This short-course will review and discuss recent progresses in the DD methods for solving differential and integral equations with applications to large-scale EM problems.

+
+## 2018 ACES Symposium 1st Place in Student Paper Competition
+
+Mr. Shu Wang received the 1st place in the student paper competition at 2018 International Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES) Symposium. The title of the paper is “A Space-Time Domain Decomposition Method for High-fidelity Electromagnetic Simulation”. Congratulations to Shu!
+
+Shu Wang joined Applied and Computational Electromagnetics Group in 2015. His research is focused on novel computational methods for time domain electromagnetics problems. This paper addresses a growing need for space- time parallel simulation capability in electromagnetics applications. Currently time-dependent EM solvers are typically parallel only in space. The sequential-in-time nature of these solvers can achieve good parallel scaling when the number of spatial mesh points per core is large. But the parallel efficiency quickly deteriorates and even saturates if spatial parallelism has been fully exploited. We proposed a new time domain EM solver to harvest parallelism in both spatial and temporal dimension. This work results in a scalable parallel time domain solver which can amend the scalability issue for traditional ones.

+# Research Overview
+
+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. The diagram of research roadmap and current supports is elaborated as:

+## Extreme-Scale Electromagnetic Modeling and Simulation in the Supercomputing Era
+
+##### Collaborators: Ralf Hiptmair@ETH, Andrew Greenwood@AFRL
+
+One basic research I have conducted is the pursuit of robust and yet efficient ways to solve Maxwell equations in their entirety. The research, usually called computational electromagnetics (CEM), is highly mathematical and abstract in itself, and can be stated as one of the principal research topics in electromagnetic fields. The implication and impact of this research is astronomical. It is the heart of modern computer-aided engineering/computer-aided design (CAE/CAD) tools for advanced antennas, radio frequency integrated circuits, electromagnetic interference and compatibility, signal and power integrity and other applications in electromagnetic and microwave engineering. 
+
+Ever-increasing fidelity and accuracy need for advanced EM applications have been pushing the problem sizestowards extreme scales. It puts a high premium on investigation of high-performance algorithms with optimal computational complexity. Moreover, increased demands are being placed on an integrated design andanalysis environment, which requires new simulation tools to be well integrated into design processes. Here,I briefly summarize my research contributions in the high-resolution and high-performance algorithms, whereboth simulation capability and modeling fidelity scale with the exponential growth in computing power.

+## Domain Decomposition Methodology for Solving Maxwell's Equations
+In recent years, domain decomposition (DD) methods have enjoyed considerable success in solving large multi-scale EM problems. These methods feature divide-and-conquerin solution algorithms (applying the most suitable solution strategy to solve each sub-problem) and plug-in-play in software architectures (integrating individual EM solvers into a portable and extensible solution suite). They also result in highly efficient and naturally parallelizable algorithms on distributed memory many-core parallel computing systems. We have been investigating novel DD algorithms for differential equations, integral equations, transient EM analysis, and reduced order modeling.

+## First-principles Electromagnetic Field-based Millimeter-Wave Channel Models
+
+##### Collaborator: Christos Christodoulou@UNM
+
+The objective of this work is to investigate a high-resolution and first-principles computationalmethodology for mmWave propagation channels in realistic usage scenarios. The work provides unprecedented resolution in deterministic channel modeling, andoffers a fundamental knowledge of mmWave channel characteristics and propagation behavior. Theadvancements are expected to initiate the transition from traditional ray-based high-frequency approximation to EM field-based full wave modeling methodology.

+## Physics-Oriented Statistical Wave Analysis Integrating Order and Chaos
+
+##### Collaborators: Thomas Antonsen@UMD, Edl Schamiloglu@UNM, Sameer Hemmady@UNM)
+
+Even though we are seeking the highest possible fidelity, the computer representation will not be exactly the samecompared to the real world. These uncertainties may arise from imprecise knowledge of the system, small differencesin manufacturing, or numerical errors in the simulations. In integrable, regular wave systems, these small differencescan be considered as local perturbations of the entire system. Hence, the numerical solution is still a very goodapproximation to the exact solution of the physical problem. However, the situation can be completely different innon-integrable, wave-chaotic systems. The wave solutions can be extremely sensitive to details and initial conditions.It makes the traditional first-principles deterministic approaches relevant only to a specific realization.
+
+This project investigates an innovative theoretical solution to Maxwell’s Equations in the wave chaotic (random,diffuse) media. The fundamental solution, named stochastic Green’s function, rigorously integrates the coherent andincoherent contributions within a unified compact form. Furthermore, by incorporating the component-, site-, system-specific information with the universal chaotic dynamics, the work accomplishes a comprehensive framework for thestatistical analysis and uncertainty quantification of complex wave systems. The advancements will achieve first-ever an imperative simulation-driven, design-under-chaos capability, and a virtual experimental facility statisticallyreplicating real-world wave propagation environments.

+## Electromagnetic Information Theory for Wireless Communication
+
+Electromagnetic field theory provides the fundamental physics of wireless communications. Over the pastdecades, EM theory has played a significant role in the design, performance assessment, and deployment planningof wireless devices and systems. Meanwhile, ever increasing demands for the network capacity in wirelesscommunications have pushed the data rate towards and beyond multi-Gigabits per second (Gbps). Massivedistributed arrays, mm-wave bands, network densification, and new waveforms serve as promising and powerfuloptions for achieving these rates. The major limiting factor preventing these emerging wireless systemsfrom realizing their full potential is our understanding of the physical layer. Specifically, our ability to preciselymodel the physics of wireless signal propagation channels in diverse and complex environments.
+
+The objective of this research is to investigate electromagnetic information theory for wireless communication through complicated diffuse mulitpath environments. Applications include indoor radio channels,dense urban cells, transmission through diffusive random media and disordered media,etc. The objective is attained by cutting across traditional disciplinary boundaries between electromagnetictheory, wave chaos physics, random statistical analysis and information theory. The methodology is to firstestablish fundamental statistical representations of diffuse multipath media, then integrate component-specificfeatures of transmitters and receivers, and finally encode the governing physics into the mathematical information theory.
