John Lovell received a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Delft University in 1993 as well as MA\'s in Mathematics from Oxford and Cornell. He is currently a Business Development Manager for Schlumberger. His numerical expertise includes the creation and application of finite element ... Read More
This paper presents a study on the propagation modes of electromagnetic waves through a step index fiber optics. To analyze the propagation of electromagnetic field, a simulation in Comsol 4.0 has been implemented using two different optical fibers. Obtaining the propagation modes, ... Read More
Recently, the concepts of fractal geometry have been introduced into electromagnetic and plasmonic metamaterials. With their self-similarity, structures based on fractal geometry should exhibit multi-band character with high Q factors due to the scaling law. However, there exist few ... Read More
High power Lower-Hybrid RF waves injected at in a Tokamak plasma can strongly modify the edge plasma. This is caused by ponderomotive forces pushing charged particles in an inhomogeneous oscillating electromagnetic field towards weaker field areas. On the Alcator C-Mod Tokamak, edge ... Read More
In many metallurgical processes metals are (heated and) stirred by an oscillating external magnetic field. The magnetic field induces electric currents in the metal and the currents interact with the magnetic field to create a force, the Lorentz force. For high frequencies induction only ... Read More
The flow of electrically conducting fluids such as liquid metals is significantly affected by applied electric and magnetic fields. The effect has important industrial applications in metallurgy, nuclear technology and other fields. This paper described results of a series of studies ... Read More
Microalgae biomass is an essential part of the global ecosystem. Not only is it responsible for 50% of the global oxygen but also proved to be useful in the development of organic polymers, antioxidants, pharmaceuticals, and feedstocks for aquatic animals. It is considered as an ... Read More
The EPFLoop team from Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne has developed a capsule thanks to which it won the 3rd place in SpaceX’s Hyperloop Pod Competition in 2018. This year the EPFLoop team has been selected again to participate at the 2019 Competition held at the SpaceX ... Read More
Measuring soil moisture content plays an important role not only for sustaining dry farming but also for soil mapping. Our work includes developing a soil moisture sensor which is based on the principle of the Dual-Probe Heat-Pulse method to measure soil moisture content. To validate ... Read More
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) are a wide range of carbon based organic chemical compounds which evaporate easily at room temperature referred as volatile in nature. Human exhaled breathe consists of carbon dioxide (CO2) along with more than 3000 Volatile Organic Compounds exists like ... Read More
