Worked with Prof. Raj Mittra in the following research topics (through projects which were funded by the industry, Lincoln Lab-MIT, and the government):
Parallel FDTD algorithm using MPI Library for solving large electromagnetic problems: In this project, we have parallelized the CFDTD code to be able to solve very large electromagnetic problems using many processors based on the domain decomposition technique.
Computer techniques for Coupling between arrays: In this project I developed a new finite difference time-domain technique to solve the problem of coupling between two large arrays with existing an absorber between the two arrays. Some of the results of this project have been presented (see in the section of publications).
Computer techniques for Microstrip phased arrays: In this project a specific attention has been paid towards the issue of modeling the coaxial feed line, using a voltage source with a lumped resistance type of internal impedance. We extended also the analysis to the case of planar array of microstrip patch antennas including coaxial lines for feeding and terminations.
Contributed to developing the commercial software package CFDTD for modeling microwave structures, RF antennas and microwave circuit components.
We used the code for research projects, that resulted in many publications (see the list of my publications).
Analysis of interconnect lines using FDTD : In this research the coupling effect (crosstalk) in parallel microstrip interconnects is analyzed by using the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) Method. The interconnects are terminated either by lumped elements or by a Perfectly Matched Layer (PML) .
Scattering center analysis of a dielectric coated target: In this project I investigated the currents induced on the surface of a dielectric coated target. This induced current is animated to show the waves traveling on its surface and to illustrate the localized diffraction mechanisms.

Worked in the following projects:
Estimation of the Electromagnetic Energy Protection for Electronic Equipment by Various Dielectric materials and shielding configurations: In this effort I have developed a new serial FDTD technique to solve the problem of penetration of the fields radiated by a biconical antenna into an electrically large building, with a measurement probe located inside the building. In order to simultaneously deal with wire-type antennas as well as lossy inhomogeneous structures, such as building walls, I have hybridized the FDTD method with the NEC code. First, the NEC code is employed to compute the field radiated by the transmitted antenna on a mathematical surface located just in front of the building. Next, the fields penetrated inside the building are evaluated by using the serial FDTD approach, and evaluate the field values on a Huygens’ box surrounding the receiving antenna. Finally we determined the field received by the probe antenna by using the reciprocity theorem.
Developing the CBFM/FDTD which is a new FDTD technique which has successfully solved very large and complex problems involving upward of 10 billion unknowns.
