About the Electromagnetics Group
As an electromagnetics group, we are part of the Department of Information Technology (INTEC) at Ghent University, Belgium. During the past 20 years we have been on the forefront of electromagnetic simulation techniques and theory. Much attention has been devoted both to the development of powerful simulation tools and to industrially relevant applications. Research in electromagnetics at Ghent University was initiated in 1964 by Prof. Jean Van Bladel with the founding of the Laboratory of Electromagnetism and Acoustics. The research scope of the laboratory was very substantially broadened with the transformation to the present Department of Information Technology (INTEC) by Prof. Paul Lagasse. As part of INTEC the Electromagnetics Group is active in many areas of information and communication technology such as microwave and RF circuits, scattering, waveguides, packaging for digital systems, electromagnetic compatibility and immunity, passive optical components and indoor propagation. However, also other areas as remote sensing, imaging and numerical analysis play an important role.
