Dr. Christophe Fumeaux received the Diploma and Ph.D. degrees in physics from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zürich, Switzerland, in 1992 and 1997, respectively.
From 1998 to 2000, he was a Post-Doctoral Researcher involved in infrared technology with the School of Optics, University of Central Florida, Orlando. In 2000, he joined the Swiss Federal Office of Metrology, Bern, Switzerland, as a Scientific Staff Member. Since 2001, he has been a Research Associate with the Laboratory for Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Electronics (IFH), ETH, Zürich, Switzerland. During the Fall of 2005, he was a Visiting Scientist with the Laboratory of Sciences and Materials for Electronics, and of Automatic (LASMEA), University Blaise Pascal, Clermont-Ferrand, France. His current main research interest concerns computational electromagnetics in the time domain for numerical analysis of microwave circuits and antennas.
Dr. Fumeaux has been the chairman of the IEEE Swiss Joint Chapter on Microwave Theory and Techniques, Antennas and Propagation, and EMC since January 2006. He was the recipient of the ETH Silver Medal of Excellence for his doctoral dissertation. He was the corecipient of the outstanding paper award of the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES) in 2004.

Dipl. Ing. Dirk Baumann received the Dipl. Ing. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany, in 2001. During Spring and Fall 2000 he did an internship at the Alaska SAR Facility (ASF) in Fairbanks, Alaska, working on the calibration of ASF's SAR processor. Currently he is working toward the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering at the Laboratory for Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Electronics (IFH), Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) Zurich. His research interests include numerical methods with emphasis on time domain techniques and their application to general electromagnetic problems.
Dirk Baumann was the corecipient of the outstanding paper award of the Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES) in 2004.

M.Sc. Krishnaswamy Sankaran graduated with bachelor degree (B.Eng.) in Electrical and Electronics from the University of Madras, India with a First Class Distinction in 2002. He received a full scholarship to pursue postgraduate studies in Germany. In April 2004, he received the master of science (M.Sc.) degree in Information and Communication Engineering from the University of Karlsruhe TH, Germany. From October 2003 to May 2004, he was working in the European Commission, Joint Research Centre - Ispra (Italy) as a research trainee in the field of Radar Systems Engineering and Remote Sensing. In June 2004, he joined the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH) - Zurich and presently working towards his Ph.D. in the Institute for Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Electronics (IFH). His main research interests are time domain techniques for solving electromagnetic field problems. Has left the group in 2007.

Head of Institute

Prof. Dr. Rüdiger Vahldieck received the Dipl.-Ing. and the Dr.-Ing. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Bremen, Germany, in 1980 and 1983, respectively. From 1984 to 1986 he was a Postdoctoral Fellow at the University of Ottawa, Canada. In 1986 he joined the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, where he became a Full Professor in 1991. During Fall and Spring of 1992-'93 he was a visiting scientist at the Ferdinand-Braun-Institut für Höchstfrequenztechnik in Berlin, Germany. In 1997 he accepted an appointment as Professor for electromagnetic field theory at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zurich, Switzerland, and became head of the Laboratory for Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Electronics (IFH) in 2003. His research interests include computational electromagnetics in the general area of EMC and in particular for computer-aided design of microwave, millimeter wave and opto-electronic integrated circuits.
Professor Vahldieck is a Fellow of the IEEE. He received the J.K. Mitra Award of the IETE (1996) for the best research paper in 1995, and was co-recipient of the outstanding publication award of the Institution of Electronic and Radio Engineers in 1983. Since 1981 he has published more than 300 technical papers in books, journals and conferences, mainly in the field of microwave CAD. He is the Past-President of the 2000 International Zurich Seminar on Broadband Communications (IZS'2000), President and General Chairman of the international Zurich Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC Zurich) and member of the editorial board of the IEEE Transaction on Microwave Theory and Techniques. From 2000 until 2003 he served as an Associate Editor for the IEEE Microwave and Wireless Components Letters and has now become the Editor-in-Chief effective Jan. 2004. Since 1992 he serves on the Technical Program Committee of the IEEE International Microwave Symposium, the MTT-S Technical Committee on Microwave Field Theory, and in 1999 on the TPC of the European Microwave Conference. From 1998 until 2003 he was chapter chairman of the IEEE Swiss Joint Chapter on MTT, AP and EMC.
