Bruce Archambeault (Bio)
Date : September 23rd 2004
What we saw:
Understanding Maxwell's
equations has, typically, been the the sole domain of Professors of Electromagnetics
and Masters degree students. However, an intuitive understanding
of these seminal equations without all the messy math if often all that is
needed to properly design and debug electronic equipment. In this presentation
Bruce stripped out all the messy math and examined each of the equations and
deciphered exactly what the weird symbols really mean. Using simple examples
Bruce helped us apply our new knowledge for a better understanding of the how
EM fields are created in electronic designs with practical examples.
Speaker
Bio
Dr. Bruce Archambeault, Ph.D
Dr. Bruce Archambeault is a Senior Technical Staff Member at IBM in Research
Triangle Park, NC. He received his B.S.E.E degree from the University of New
Hampshire in 1977 and his M.S.E.E degree from Northeastern University in 1981.
He received his Ph. D. from the University of New Hampshire in 1997. His
doctoral research was in the area of computational electromagnetics applied to
real-world EMC problems.
In 1981 he joined Digital Equipment Corporation and through 1994 he had
assignments ranging from EMC/TEMPEST product design and testing to developing
computational electromagnetic EMC-related software tools. In 1994 he joined
SETH Corporation where he continued to develop computational electromagnetic
EMC-related software tools and used them as a consulting engineer in a variety
of different industries. In 1997 he joined IBM in Raleigh, N.C. where he is
the lead EMC engineer, responsible for EMC tool development and use on a
variety of products. During his career in the U.S. Air Force he was
responsible for in-house communications security and TEMPEST/EMC related
research and development projects.
Dr. Archambeault has authored or co-authored a number of papers in
computational electromagnetics, mostly applied to real-world EMC applications.
He is currently a Board of Directors member of the Applied Computational
Electromagnetics Society (ACES) and the IEEE EMC Society. He has served as a
past Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic
Compatibility. He is the author of the book “PCB Design for Real-World EMI
Control” and the lead author of the book titled “EMI/EMC Computational
Modeling Handbook”
