ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — Salvatore Campione of Sandia National Laboratories has been awarded the 2017 Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society (ACES) Early Career Award “for innovative contributions to the electromagnetic modeling of complex systems and structures, from microwave to optical frequencies.”
The ACES Early Career Award honors achievements and contributions in the field of computational electromagnetics by a researcher age 35 years or younger at the time of nomination. ACES provides a forum for issues relevant to numerical modeling in applied electromagnetics, with a focus on computational techniques, electromagnetics modeling software and applications. A goal of the ACES community is to enhance electromagnetic computations by means of novel techniques, pushing the frontiers of what is possible.
Campione’s areas of expertise include electromagnetic theory, antennas, metamaterials, plasmonics in nanostructures and optical devices.
He was named a Marconi Society Paul Baran Young Scholar while still a University of California Irvine (UCI) graduate student, where he was selected one of UCI’s top-50 graduate and postdoctoral scholar alumni.
Campione also received the 2016 Outstanding Young Professional award from the IEEE honor society Eta Kappa Nu, joining other winners that have included Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak, “Father of the Internet” Vint Cerf, Google co-founder Larry Page, and Intel co-founder and chairman emeritus Gordon Moore.
Campione will receive his award at the ACES 2017 annual symposium in Firenze, Italy, in March.
