General: The International Workshop on Finite Elements for Microwave Engineering is a highly-focused biannual event. It provides an ideal meeting place for researchers who are active in either the theoretical development of finite element methods or their application to radio frequency and microwave engineering problems.

Venue: The workshop will be held in The Historic Stanley Hotel, in Estes Park, Colorado – for information about the venue and social program, click here.

Scope: Technical areas covered by the workshop include, but are not limited to:

· Adaptive Methods

· Advanced FEM Techniques Formulations, Solvers, Discrete Representations

· Optimization Techniques, Parameter Space Sweep

· Time Domain FEM Theory and Applications

· Mathematical Aspects of FEM

· FEM Applications: Antennas, Materials and Meta-materials, Bio-Electromagnetics, Electromagnetic Compatibility, Circuits and Circuit Boards

· Hybrid Methods – Theory and Applications: FE-BI/FDTD, FE-FV/Circuit Simulators/High-Frequency Techniques, Coupled Physics FEM for RF-MEMS
