Student Author Award
A Student Author Award to a young researcher for the best paper presented at CEM 2011 was offered by COMPEL (Emerald) (www.emeraldinsight.com/compel.htm).
In addition, two of the exhibitors offered 1 year licence of their software products to the top placed candidates.
This prize will be awarded to a young researcher that is a participant of the conference who has registered as a student.
The paper may be co-authored, but the young researcher must have contributed significantly, the evidence of which may be demonstrated for example by the fact that he/she is listed as the first author. The paper must be presented by the young researcher during the conference.
A special Awards Committee, working together with session chairs, will select one paper (in exceptional circumstances two for a joint award), the author(s) of which will be the recipient(s) of the award.
Result
There were a number of excellent Student Paper this year, and it proved to be quite a challenge to determine a best paper. It was finally decided that 2 authors would share the prize. The winners are (in alphabetic order):
Daniel Browne
P3-15: A mobile virtual electromagnetics laboratory for iPhone
Daniel Browne, Simon Pomeroy, James Flint
Loughborough University, Loughborough, United Kingdom
"Modern mobile devices have now advanced to a point where they can execute computationally-intensive mathematical problems. The Transmission Line Matrix Modelling method (TLM) is a time-domain method
allowing the computation of two and three dimensional electromagnetic fields and structures. TLM is able to
model complex scenarios whilst utilising a computationally simple method to model structures in discrete
spatial units. This paper presents an iPhone Application (App) containing a TLM solver. The simulation output is presented on the screen as the simulation progresses. The performance of the iPhone is sufficient
to visualise full-field simulations and to provide an interactive interface for the user."
| Dan will receive in addition to the personal cheque from COMPEL (Emerald) a 1 year free licence of the QuickWave software package from QWED. |

P1-10: A two-level solver for nonlinear magnetic field problems using the p-version of the FEM
Andreas Hauck(1), Manfred Kaltenbacher(2)
(1)Department of Sensor Technology, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Erlangen, Germany,
(2)Applied Mechatronics, University of Klagenfurt, Klagenfurt, Austria
"In this work we present an approach for solving nonlinear magnetostatic fields by utilizing the p-version of the FEM. The hierarchical H(curl)-conforming elements enable a natural splitting in lower order Nédélec-type shape functions and higher order ones. We develop a two-level solver analogous to the multigrid method, where the initial solution of the nonlinear problem on the lower order space is inserted into the higher order one, thus reducing the computational effort. Due to the explicit representation of gradients in the shape functions, the higher order space can be solved robustly using a simple Schwarz type preconditioned Krylov method. The efficiency of the proposed method is demonstrated by TEAM benchmark problems."
