Everyone Our next EMC Chapter meeting will be held on 5 May 201 at the University of York.
This is an opportunity to hear from universities about their latest research work in electromagnetic compatibility related matters, to question and comment on that work, and to hear of common problems that Industry faces in meeting the essential requirements of the EMC Directive. A free interactive day for all managers, engineers and academics involved in any aspect of EMC. The all day event is free of charge for all, but please note the requirement to register in advance. Our new Section website is up and running now so you can read about it all at http://www.ieee-ukandireland.org/event/ieee-emc-chapter-technical-meeting-em c-research-at-universities-in-the-uk-and-the-needs-of-industry/ (if the link breaks across the line, copy and paste into your web browser) Or just scroll down this email for details. Also a date for your diary: The following meeting will be at Brooklands museum http://www.brooklandsmuseum.com/ on 6 July 2016. Details of the technical program to follow later. Another free event, with museum entry included. I hope to see you at one (or both!) of these events.

Another interest is adapting EMC technology for medical purposes, with applications including measurement of total body water, and characterising human exposure to microwave fields. Dr John Dawson BSc DPhil CEng MIET MIEEE John Started his career as an MOD apprentice in 1975 after which he gained his degree in Electronics and DPhil in HF communications at the University of York. Whilst undertaking his DPhil research he set up an industrial electronics consultancy designing custom industrial process control equipment, where he worked till his return to the University of York in 1988. Since returning to York he has worked in the applied electromagnetics research group and as a consultant to York Electronics Centre, and York EMC Services as well as contributing to CPD courses and teaching a range of topics in electronics and EMC within the Department of Electronics to undergraduate and masters students. John has over 150 publications in the field of electromagnetic compatibility, and is a regular speaker at EMC workshops and conferences. He is an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on EMC and as member of the technical programme committee for EMC Europe and APEMC conferences. His research encompasses a wide range of EMC and related topics, including: shielding, reverberation chambers, emissions and circuit interactions, design for EMC, and computational electromagnetics. More details can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/preview.php?num=JFDYRDProj Prof. Dave Thomas. Dave Thomas is a Professor of Electromagnetics Applications and Director of The George Green Institute for Electromagnetics Research, The University of Nottingham UK. His research interests are in electromagnetic compatibility, electromagnetic simulation, power system transients and power system protection with a particular interest in stochastic fields and uncertainty in electromagnetics. He is a member of CIGRE and convenor for Joint Working Group C4.31 EMC between communication circuits and power systems. He is also Chair for the IEEE EMC Technical committee T7 on Low Frequency EMC, Chair of COST Action IC 1407 Advanced Characterisation and Classification of Radiated Emissions in Densely Integrated Technologies (ACCREDIT) and a member of the EMC Europe International Steering Committee. Professor Alistair Duffy BEng(Hons), MEng, MBA, PhD, CEng, FIET, IEEE Fellow Alistair Duffy is a Fellow of the IEEE and a past Distinguished Lecturer. His interests are in numerical electromagnetics, measurements and the cross-validation of both of these. He is Professor of Electromagnetics at De Montfort University, Leicester. Nick Wainwright Nick graduated from the University of Northumbria with a 2:1 honours degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering in 1988. His first job was working for GEC in the telecoms industry where he was introduced to the subject of electromagnetic compatibility; something he found both interesting and enjoyable. An opportunity to develop further arose and Nick joined York Electronics Centre, the predecessor to York EMC Services (YES), in 1990. From junior Test Engineer to Chief Executive, Nick has held most jobs in-between developing a huge range of experience of all aspects of EMC, both theoretical and practical. In 1994 he was awarded an MSc in EMC with distinction from the University of Hull. Nick has been a regular presenter on EMC related subjects for many years at both industry and academic conferences as well as on YES's own training courses. Nick is a Chartered Engineer and a member of the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and the Institute of Directors (IoD).
