DESCRIPTION:Prof Alistair Duffy\nDe Montfort University\, UK\nAbstract\nEl
 ectromagnetics is a fundamental building block of society. It is the corne
 rstone of almost all the technologies that we are familiar with in our mod
 ern lives: from cellular communication to transportation to domestic energ
 y. In its simplest form\, it can be summarized by four equations. However\
 , in the main\, those four equations cannot be solved directly to design a
 nything other than very simple systems. This means we are reliant on measu
 rements and simulations. These simulations (computational electromagnetics
 ) will provide a very precise answer to the question the modeler poses but
  is the question the one the modeler actually wanted to ask. Hence\, valid
 ating such models is important in providing confidence in the simulation p
 rocess. This is no trivial task. This talk will explore the role of electr
 omagnetics in society today\, why computational electromagnetics is import
 ant\, how we know that what we get is what we intend and how we can improv
 e testing the confidence we can place in these models.\n\nBio\nAlistair Du
 ffy is Professor of Electromagnetics at De Montfort University\, UK\, and 
 Director of the university’s Institute of Engineering Sciences. He is a 
 2022 Visiting Professor at EPFL. Alistair has published approximately 300 
 peer reviewed papers with a particular focus on electromagnetic compatibil
 ity. He is the Immediate Past President of the IEEE EMC Society and will b
 e a Director of the IEEE in 2023 and 2024. He was the Chair of the Working
  Group that revised IEEE Std 1597.1\, which addressed the topic of validat
 ion of computational electromagnetics.
