IUS FENS Research Traditionally Presented At Aces Symposium
Last week, researchers from the field of computational electromagnetics from all over the world had an opportunity to present their research work at a traditional ACES 2012 symposium that was this year held in Columbus, Ohio, USA, from April 10 to April 14, 2012. The international ACES Symposium serves as a forum for developers, analysts, and users of computational techniques applied to electromagnetic field problems for all frequency ranges. The symposium includes technical, invited, plenary and regular presentations, software demonstrations, vendor booths, and short courses.
Department of Electrical Engineering of International University of Sarajevo participated at this prestigious event through the work of Assist. prof. dr. Moamer Hasanovic and Senior assistant Tarik Namas. The title of their paper was "Ultrawideband Antipodal Vivaldi Antenna for Road Surface Scanner Based on Inverse Scattering". The paper is a result of an extensive research in the field of ultra-wideband antennas that included antenna modeling, simulation, and tolerance analysis. Prof Hasanovic presented this work in the symposium session titled "Electromagnetic Simulation in the Software Package SONNET SUITE". Our work has been received very positively by the audience and as a result, a few academicians from different institutions expressed interest to collaborate with IUS on this and similar projects. Prof Hasanovic had extensive discussions with the researchers from Northern Illinois University, Turksat, Istanbul Commerce University, and others.
The work presented at the ACES 2012 conference is a part of a larger interdisciplinary research effort at IUS FENS with the main goal of developing a road surface scanner based on inverse scattering. The scanner will be capable of accurate, non-destructive, and inexpensive characterization of road pavements. The system will use a state-of-the-art, fast and accurate numerical solver for 3D inverse scattering problems in stratified media. The project is a collaboration of four academic institutions from Bosnia-Herzegovina, Turkey, and Germany and involves the fields of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, computer engineering, and industrial engineering.
This is for the third time that International University of Sarajevo is represented at ACES symposiums. Small student teams lead by prof Hasanovic already presented their work at ACES 2010 in Tampere (Finland) and ACES 2011 in Wiliamsburg, Virginia (USA).
