Sarris named Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques
Professor Costas Sarris has been appointed the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques (IEEE J-MMCT), a joint publication of three IEEE societies: Microwave Theory and Techniques (MTT-S), Antennas and Propagation (AP-S) and Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC), as of January 2019.
The IEEE J-MMCT publishes papers related to a broad range of electromagnetic engineering problems that rely on theoretical developments and computational techniques to solve problems spanning different physical properties or scales.
Papers in this journal describe or use multiphysics or multiscale modeling in physics and electromagnetic engineering, including the calculation of system behavior on one scale using information or models derived from a different scale; numerical inversion methods; parallel processing methods, high-order basis function techniques and other advanced mathematical or numerical methods to perform multiphysics co-simulations for applied problems.
“I am profoundly honoured by and excited for the opportunity to serve as the Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Journal on Multiscale and Multiphysics Computational Techniques for the next three years,” said Sarris. “This journal is committed to keeping up with research advances, becoming the main source of reference for the latest, high impact research on multiscale and multiphysics computations of electromagnetic fields.”
Plataniotis co-chairs 25th IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP)
The IEEE International Conference on Image Processing (ICIP) is the world’s largest and most comprehensive technical conference for image and video processing and computer vision. ICIP 2018’s theme was ‘imaging beyond imagination’ with an agenda including world-class speakers, tutorials, exhibits, and a vision technology showcase.
The four-day conference, hosted in Athens, Greece, was co-chaired by Professor Kostas Plataniotis of The Edward S. Rogers Sr. Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering (ECE) with plenary talks by C.-C. Jay Kuo of the University of Southern California, Marc Pollefeys of ETH Zurich and Microsoft and Min Wu of the University of Maryland.
Over 200 graduate students and more than 1,000 experienced researchers and developers attended the conference. Along with numerous talks, tutorials and poster sessions, ICIP 2018 held the second edition of the IEEE Signal Processing Society Video and Image Processing (VIP) Cup — asking participants to segment and predict a lung cancer tumor region via screening CT scans.
“ICIP 2018’s vibrant technical programming encourages student participation while creating a sense of community among attendees,” said Plataniotis. “It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with up-and-coming researchers, as well as established researchers in the field of image processing.”
