Dr. Jindal has been nominated for the Delegate-Elect/Director-Elect 2015

Dr. Renuka Jindal is Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette, LA, USA since 2002. His research and teaching interests lie in the theory and practice of random processes applicable to a wide variety of phenomena in electronic and photonic devices and circuits, lightwave and wireless communications systems and biological organs. Dr. Jindal was elected Fellow of IEEE in 1991 for his seminal work reducing MOSFET noise by almost an order of magnitude for analog and RF applications. He is also a recipient of the IEEE 3rd Millennium medal. For last four decades of his dual career in industry and academia, Dr. Jindal rose through the ranks as Editor, Editor-in-Chief, VP of Publications, and as EDS President in 2010- 2011. As President he formulated the vision and mission of EDS enhancing member benefits launching a plethora of initiatives reversing the decline in EDS membership. A partial list of his accomplishments is given below:

• Brought together 6 societies and 1 council to launch highly successful IEEE Journal of Photovoltaics mushrooming IEEE’s share in the PV space http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6055242
• Launched EDS webinar series serving the practicing engineers; now considered a best practice in IEEE http://eds.ieee.org/webinars.html
• Launched the 1st EDS OPEN ACCESS Journal J-EDS http://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=6471856
• Founded QuestEDS for members to get authoritative answers to technical questions within 2 weeks http://eds.ieee.org/questeds/why-questeds.html
• Founded the EDS Celebrated Member program to honor EDS Nobel Laureates and other luminaries. http://eds.ieee.org/celebrated-members.html
• Mentored the launch of a high-school outreach program (EDS-ETC) across United States and abroad http://eds.ieee.org/the-eds-etc-program.html
• As chapter partner, for over 15 years, stimulated a spectacular growth of EDS chapters in South Asia from one to 19 serving Division I.

As Senior-Past President of EDS Dr. Jindal is still very much engaged with IEEE. Recently, Dr. Jindal has been nominated by IEEE Division I to run for the Delegate-Elect/Director-Elect 2015 position in the upcoming IEEE elections. The electorate consists of members of three societies i.e. Electron Devices (ED), Solid-State Circuits (SSC) and Circuits and Systems (CAS). The slate consists of three candidates one from each of these societies. 

On his behalf, I suggest to contact your colleagues in IEEE regions 1-10 for his support since IEEE ballots will be out by August 15.

IJNM Call for Papers

Advances in simulation-driven modeling and optimization of microwave/RF circuits

IJNM Call for Papers

Computer-aided modeling and design of microwave/radio frequency (RF) devices and circuits have undergone tremendous developments in the past decade. The complexity of today's devices and circuits renders electromagnetic (EM) simulation a sine qua non in the microwave design process. That said, EM-driven design poses significant challenges, mostly due to the high computational cost of accurate, high-fidelity simulation. The availability of massive computational resources does not always translate into design speedup because of the need to account for interactions between devices and their surroundings as well as multi-physics (e.g., EM-thermal) effects. Not surprisingly, traditional design optimization procedures that directly utilize EM-simulated responses typically fail or are impractical. As a consequence, there is growing interest in alternative optimization and modeling methodologies, especially ones that exploit computationally cheap surrogate models.

This Special Issue focuses on the current state of the art and future directions in microwave and RF design. Papers on software engineering and practical applications aspects are also encouraged. Suitable topics for this Special Issue therefore include but are not limited to

• surrogate-based modeling and optimization methods including space mapping;
• knowledge-based and tuning methodologies;
• global optimization, evolutionary algorithms, particle swarm optimization, and so on;
• multi-objective optimization;
• adjoint-sensitivities for efficient gradient-based optimizers;
• optimization techniques for nonlinear circuits;
• software architectures for optimization-oriented design;
• automated design optimization using EM simulators;
• optimization for inverse EM problems;
• neural network approaches; and
• optimization for discrete problems.

Manuscripts for this Special Issue should adhere to the requirements for regular papers of the IJNM as specified in the Author Guidelines at http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/10.1002/(ISSN)1099-1204/homepage/ForAuthors.html

Potential contributors may contact the guest editor to determine the suitability of their contribution to the Special Issue. All manuscripts should be submitted via the IJNM's manuscript website http://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ijnm, with a statement that they are intended for this Special Issue.

Manuscript submission deadline: January 31, 2015
