STEM for Britain 2023

STEM for BRITAIN is a major scientific poster competition and exhibition which has been held in Parliament since 1997, and is organised by the Parliamentary & Scientific Committee. Chaired by Stephen Metcalfe MP, its aim is to give members of both Houses of Parliament an insight into the outstanding research work being undertaken in UK universities by early-career researchers.

I was delighted to be a finalist with my poster on Open Source Electromagnetics for Giga Scale Antenna Arrays using LyceanEM.

I’m excited to announce “The Power of the Sun : Workshop on Space Based Solar Power”, funded by the University of Bristol, and supported by the Satellite Applications Catapult and Virtus Solis. Beyond the academic interest in the problems of modelling such large antenna arrays in orbit, I am very excited about the possibility of transforming what was a staple of science fiction, into a very real contributor to the energy mix.

Unfogging the Farfield

When considering antennas and antenna arrays, one of the more useful and consistent abstractions are that of the plane wave, and the related concept of the farfield. These concepts are simplifications of the expanding spherical wavefronts in the limit of large distances. The approximation states that when considering a specific direction or set of directions the spherical wavefront can be approximated as a plane wave propagating in the direction of interest.
