PITTSBURGH – April 3, 2002 – The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) appointed Dr. Zoltan Cendes, chairman and chief technology officer of Ansoft Corporation (NASDAQ: ANST), a Distinguished Lecturer for the 2001–02 term, an honor extended to only three people per year.
The AP-S Distinguished Lecturer Program provides local IEEE AP-S chapters with expert presentations on the most recent scientific and technological trends in the antennas-and-propagation industry by securing lecturers who are outstanding in their fields of specialty. Dr. Cendes will present "High-Level Design Using Coupled Electromagnetic, Circuit and System Simulation" at various AP-S chapters around the world.
“I’m delighted to lecture for the Society,” said Dr. Cendes. “The AP-S provides its members with great opportunities to interact with others in their industry and imparts the knowledge that inspires antenna designers to conceive innovative technologies. I look forward to sharing my thoughts on how software methodologies can integrate electromagnetic antenna simulation techniques within the wider context of system-level communication design.”
Dr. Cendes, who founded Ansoft in 1984, manages Ansoft’s product and technology research and is responsible for the overall direction of the company’s software. In addition to his responsibilities at Ansoft, Dr. Cendes is an Adjunct Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where he was a full-time professor for 16 years. Dr. Cendes, who received his master’s and doctoral degrees in Electrical Engineering from McGill University in Montreal, Canada, is a member of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technique (MTT) Technical Committee on Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) and serves on the editorial board of the International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering. Dr. Cendes also has served on the International Steering Committee of the COMPUMAG Conference and is a past chairman of the IEEE Conference on Electromagnetic Field Computation.
