Modeling of Power Distribution Networks in Printed Circuit Boards

Speaker:   Francesca Maradei, President IEEE EMC Society

Presenter’s Bio  
Francesca Maradei was awarded a Degree in Electrical Engineering in 1992 from Sapienza University of Rome, a Diplome d'Etudes Approfondies (DEA) in Electrical Engineering from the Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, France, in 1993, and a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Sapienza University of Rome, in 1997. Ms Maradei is currently an Associate Professor at Sapienza University.

Professional Experience: Ms. Maradei joined the Department of Electrical Engineering of Sapienza University of Rome in 1996 where, before becoming an Associate Professor, she has served as an Assistant Professor until 2000. She is author of more than 100 papers in the field of numerical techniques and their application to EMC problems (shielding, transmission line analysis, electrostatic discharge (ESD), electric fast transient (EFT), printed circuit boards (PCBs), power distribution networks (PDN) ).

Ms. Maradei was a member of the Technical Program Committee of the IEEE Conference on Electromagnetic Field Computation - CEFC’2006 (Miami, USA), and of  the Asia-Pacific EMC Week 2010 (Beijing, China). She was a member of the organizing committees of the following International Conferences: EMC’94 ROMA, Rome, Italy, 1994; EMC’96 ROMA, Rome, Italy, 1996; EMC’98 ROMA, Rome, Italy, 1998; EMC EUROPE 2002, Sorrento, Italy, 2002; Workshop on EMC of Wireless Systems - EMC EUROPE, Rome, Italy, 2005; IEEE 2007 EMC Symposium, Honolulu, Hawaii, 2007. She has been member of the International Technical Committee of EUROEM 2008 Symposium (Lausanne, Switzerland), EMC’09 KYOTO (Kyoto, Japan).

Since the academic year 1993-94 Ms. Maradei has been involved in teaching courses on Principles of Electrical Engineering, on EMC and on Numerical Procedures for EMC Problems.

IEEE Service and Activities: Ms. Maradei is the President of the IEEE Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Society for 2010-11. She has been serving in the Board of Directors of IEEE EMC Society since 2005. She served as Chapter Coordinator of the IEEE EMCS Society in 2005-2009, and as an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on EMC from 1999 to 2000. For several years she has served as reviewer of technical papers for the IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility, on Industry Applications, on Microwave Theory and Techniques, and on Magnetics.
