New frontiers in applied Electromagnetics (EM) & photonics, as well as Computational Electromagnetics (CEM) will be covered in this talk. It consists of 3 integrated multi-disciplinary areas, i.e., 1) Fiber laser photonics and Zero-Index-Materials (ZIM); 2) Advanced CEM algorithms; and 3) Applied electromagnetics components, system & instrumentation:

1)    Patent-pending miniature DFB (Distributed Feedback) fiber laser Self-Mixing-Interferometry (SMI) sensor with 2-Dimension (2D) graphene diaphragm will be covered first, followed by the recently designed ZIM nano-photonics and its applications.

2)    Novel CEM algorithms covered include the recently developed Spectral-Domain Method of Moments (SD-MOM) and geometry-field accelerated Multi-Level Fast Fourier Transform (ML-FFT) algorithm.

3)    EM applications will cover multi-band antenna array, Parity-Time (PT) symmetry RF sensor, novel millimeter-wave/THz Doppler radar, novel Doppler Optical Coherence Tomography (DOCT) and Compressive Sensing (CS) passive millimeter-wave imaging.
