Assistant Professor of Communications and Electromagnetics, School of Engineering
What is your research background and current field of research?
I'm an assistant professor in the Department of Electronic, Electrical and Systems Engineering in the School of Engineering. My research is at the intersection of electromagnetism, numerical methods, and high-performance computing: I’m investigating new hardware-accelerated numerical methods for modelling complex electromagnetic devices, such as semiconductor interconnects and antenna arrays.
Which BEAR Services have been most helpful to you in your research?
I use BlueBEAR to run large electromagnetic simulations using the methods and code I develop in my research group, to study their scalability and efficiency.
How widespread do you think BEAR Services are known in your School and how do you plan to spread the word?
Many of my colleagues are aware of BEAR Services, but may not use them due to the unavailability of certain domain-specific software on BlueBEAR, and licensing challenges. I’m hoping to work with BEAR to make these tools available, and to promote their usage on BlueBEAR among my colleagues by using my own research as an example during internal meetings and seminars.
How can researchers in your School/College contact you?
I can be reached by email at s.sharma.11@bham.ac.uk
What's an interesting fact about you?
I enjoy cooking, hiking, and swimming.
