Dr. Raymond Rumpf travelled to Kaunas University of Technology in Lithuania to attend the 24th International Conference School, themed “Advanced Materials and Technologies” on 22-26 August 2022. He will deliver 3 presentations on electromagnetics and photonics, as well as on careers in the industry. Students, researchers, and lecturers from more than 10 countries participated in […]
Getting started in Numerical Methods
I am often asked ‘What advice do you have for those interested in numerical methods?‘ The key to computation is visualization. Every step of computation can be accelerated and showcased better with strong graphics and visualization skills. The lag between your initial thought and the data visualized makes it difficult for our brains to see […]
Cylindrical lens embedded photonic crystals based on self-collimation
We have designed and demonstrated a new type of lens that operates without traditional refraction, making it behave like a perfectly thin lens. The concept holds great promise to widen the field-of-view of imaging systems and to provide new degrees of freedom to manipulate beams and wave fronts. We will have more to share on this topic […]
Interview with Raymond Rumpf
Artech House, the publisher of Dr. Rumpf’s new book “Electromagnetic and Photonic Simulation for the Beginner: Finite-Difference Frequency-Domain in MATLAB”, has published an interview of the author. They covered some interesting questions about his motivations to write the book and the behind-the-scenes work that went into researching, writing, and publishing. Check out the interview with […]
Dr. Rumpf releases new book on computational electromagnetics for the beginner
Dr. Raymond Rumpf, the EMProfessor and director of the EMLab at the University of Texas El Paso, has authored a new book that teaches the art and techniques of computational electromagnetics to the complete beginner. The book covers the finite-difference frequency-domain (FDFD) method from initial concepts up to advanced three-dimensional simulations. Plain language, high-quality graphics, […]
EMLab Awarded $100K Grant for FDTD
The EMLab has received a $100,000 grant from IERUS Technologies to develop numerical techniques that will be incorporated into a high-performance computing (HPC) platform suitable for simulating and optimizing advanced photonic devices. Leading the research is Raymond C. Rumpf, Ph.D., the Schellenger Professor in Electrical Research and director of UTEP’s EM Lab, who says the […]

A new market study titled “Discover Global 3D Printed Electronics Market Upcoming Trends, Growth Drivers and Challenges” lists the EM Lab as a key player in the global 3D printed electronics market. The EM Lab has been making very significant contributions to this field and is one of the most ambitious and visionary groups.
EMLab Research Featured on Cover of IEEE Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology
The EM Lab published two seminal papers this month in IEEE Components, Packaging, and Manufacturing Technology. The first paper describes their work which automated hybrid direct-write 3D printing, giving them the powerful capability to build arbitrary metal-dielectric parts. The EM Lab is the first group in the world to accomplish this. The second paper describes […]
