A Flomerics software development engineer has been awarded a Young Scientist Award at this year's prestigious International Union of Radio Science (URSI) General Assembly, Maastricht, Netherlands.
Dr Nebojsa Doncov, a software development engineer for the Electromagnetic (EM) division of Flomerics has been awarded a Young Scientist Award at this year's prestigious International Union of Radio Science (URSI) General Assembly, Maastricht, Netherlands.
The General Assembly, held once every three years, recognises outstanding contributions to the study and application of radio science.
Doncov's work has allowed Flomerics to make significant speed and accuracy improvements to its EM products, FLO/EMC for the simulation of EMC issues within electronic equipment and Micro-Stripes for the design and optimisation of antennas and microwave devices.
The panel of reviewers were impressed with the enhancements to the transmission line method (TLM) that Dr Doncov has illustrated in his paper "Enhanced TLM method for airflow aperture arrays modelling".
An enthusiastic URSI reviewer commented, "The numerical modelling of airflow aperture arrays presented in this paper is a significant step forward in the use of TLM in EMC modelling".
Dr Doncov has introduced a compact model representing the EM behaviour of airflow aperture arrays, which obviate the need to individually mesh the apertures.
This is a significant step as it results in a substantial increase in speed without sacrificing accuracy.
The URSI Young Scientist Awards are open to scientists under the age of 35 (on 1st September of the year of the URSI General Assembly) who have a paper, of which he or she is the principal author, submitted and accepted for oral or poster presentation at a regular session of the general assembly.
Judges are looking for subjects of strong interest to radio scientists with good clarity of presentation.
Dr Nebosja Doncov, 32, is a Yugoslav national who has lived and worked in the UK for nearly two years.
He earned his PhD in electrical and electronic engineering from the University of Nis, Yugoslavia.
In his spare time Doncov enjoys travelling, chess and basketball.
He and his wife are expecting their first child.
