Roger Waters, 1970.
His research interest is originated from the continuing work in computational methods in electromagnetics, particularly numerical modelling of wire antennas in the presence of inhomogeneous media and interaction of electromagnetic waves with human body.
In his master thesis he investigated the finite element solution of integral equations in wire antenna problems. One of the most important contributions is developing a certain variant of integral finite element technique for wire antennas and scatterers of arbitrary shape in the presence of a inhomogeneous medium. In addition, the so-called exponential approximation technique is successfully applied to the Sommerfeld integrals evaluation. This finite element/exponential approximation procedure provides accurate and efficient calculation of equivalent current distribution along wire, near and far field evaluation and very simple technique for input impedance evaluation.
Very similar approach has been used for calculating the transient impedance of the grounding systems for lightning protection applications. Time-domain response is obtained from frequency domain results by using the inverse fast Fourier transform algorithm.
Numerous advantages of proposed method over the commonly used point-matching technique are fully documented in his master thesis and several published papers in journals and conference proceedings.
He has also applied the finite element techniques for solving the problems of power cables heat transfer and semiconductor devices modeling, and boundary element solution of electromagnetic scattering from arbitrarily shaped 2D conducting bodies.
In his doctoral thesis he has developed a new time-domain formulation for the analysis of horizontal wire antenna radiating over a lossy half-space. The effect of a lossy medium is taken into account via space-time dependent reflection coefficient appearing inside the time-domain Hallen integral equation. An efficient and stable direct time-domain finite-element/marching-on-in-time procedure has also been developed for treating the corresponding integral -equation. Recently, the proposed formulation is extended to practically more interesting case of two coupled wires over a lossy interface. The similar approach is also successfully applied to the analysis of transmission lines of a finite length. Finally, this time-domain formulation is also used for the calculation of the foot current induced in human body exposed to electromagnetic pulse. Currently, he has a collaboration with the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering (electromagnetics research group) at the University of Wales, Swansea, sponsored by British Council.
Since October 1990, he has published many papers (see References) as a result of his continuous work in the area of computational electromagnetics.
