DESCRIPTION:Dr. Arya Fallahi Foundation for Research on Information Techno
 logies in Society (IT’IS)\, Zurich\, Switzerland Swiss Federal Institut
 e of Technology (ETH)\, Zurich\, Switzerland\nAbstract: The emergence of c
 omputers in the last century and the surge of computation technology have 
 revolutionized the research progress through advanced simulation tools. Re
 search methodologies based on electromagnetic fields and waves\, as the pa
 ramount method for investigating novel phenomena\, were similarly affected
  by the simulation technology. The presentation aims to show few of the nu
 merous research schemes where computational electrodynamics is playing a s
 ignificant supportive role. \nMetamaterials and metasurfaces have shown 
 strong promise to scientists and engineers to realize materials with prope
 rties not found in nature. One of the outcomes of this research field was 
 metamaterial absorbers\, where thin wideband radar absorbers are pursued. 
 Invent of 2D materialsin the last years had shown strong potentials for d
 eveloping tunable metasurfaces\, whose simulation paves the way toward new
  functioning devices. Particle accelerators is another research domain whe
 re electromagnetic fields are applied for transferring energy to particles
 . The possibility of designing electromagnetic fields to realize Compact 
 accelerators has been the focus of extensive research efforts in the last
  years. The crucial role played by computational electromagnetics in this 
 area will be reviewed through projects where ultrafast accelerators are de
 signed and implemented. Eventually\, the presentation reviews the recent a
 chievements in material characterization and assessment of field intera
 ctions with human body using the state-of-the-art methods in computationa
 l electromagnetics.\n\nBiography: Arya Fallahi was born in 1982 and raise
 d in Tehran\, Iran. He finished his high school studies as the winner of 
 the Gold Medal in the National Physics Olympiad in 1999. Arya earned bach
 elor degrees in both applied physics and electrical engineering from Shari
 f university of Technology in 2004\, and completed the master of science d
 egree in electrical engineering at Tehran University in 2006. He then move
 d to Switzerland\, where he worked on electromagnetic properties and appli
 cations of metamaterials as a doctoral student. He earned his PhD degree f
 rom Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH Zurich) in 2010\, winning a
  prestigious ETH Medal for Outstanding PhD Thesis. After the PhD\, he join
 ed the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) for a two-year post-doctoral appointm
 ent in the Accelerator Modelling and Advanced Simulations (AMAS) group. In
  2012\, he moved to Germany to work as a computational physicist in the ul
 trafast optics and X-ray sources group of the Deutsches Elektronen-Synchro
 tron (DESY)\, in the Centre for Free Electron Laser Science (CFEL) in Hamb
 urg. He successfully defended his habilitation thesis in 2018 at the Univ
 ersity of Hamburg. He joined the IT'IS Foundation as Project Leader for C
 omputational Electromagnetics in January 2019. His experience revolves aro
 und applications of computational science and scientific computing in vari
 ous fields of physics and engineering. He has dedicated his research effor
 ts to topics in electromagnetic metamaterials\, computational nano-optics\
 , plasmonics\, compact electron accelerators\, high-power THz generation\,
  laser physics\, free electron laser science\, material characterization a
 nd bioelectromagnetics.
