IEEE Alaska Section

Students and women in STEM from across New Jersey will join together to share research, engage in professional development, share experience, and build community. Attendees will participate in workshops designed to enhance key professional skills, covering topics such as building mentorship networks, fostering intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, and exploring diverse career opportunities in teaching, academia, industry, and beyond. This event aims to foster community, amplify the voices of women in STEM, and equip participants with tools to navigate and thrive in their academic and professional journeys. This event is led by Montclair State University College Of Science And Mathematics, co-sponsored by IEEE North Jersey Section, IEEE NJ Antennas and Propagation/Microwave Theory and Techniques Chapter, IEEE NJ Systems, Man, and Cybernetics Chapter, IEEE Women in Engineering Chapter, and IEEE Montclair Student Branch.

The concept of space-filling curves has been studied in mathematics since the late 19th century. These curves are, in general, continuous mappings from a normalized one-dimensional interval to a normalized two-dimensional region, × . In each case the curve passes through every point in the 2-D region in the limit of infinite iteration order. The most widely known of these curves are the ones proposed by G. Peano and David Hilbert in 1890 and 1891, respectively. From an electromagnetics, scattering, and antenna perspective, space-filling curves are particularly attractive as they offer resonant structures with very small footprints when the step-order of iterative filling increases. However, these curves are a subset of a broader class of curves in graph theory known as Grid-Graph Hamiltonian Paths (GG-HP) and Grid-Graph Hamiltonian Cycles (GG-HC). In this lecture, we will explore the fundamental electrodynamics of space-filling curves and Grid-Graph Hamiltonian Paths, focusing on their scattering properties, polarizability, and multiband functionality, and their roles in the development of electrically small and reconfigurable antennas, metamaterials, and metasurfaces. Specifically, we will examine the use of space-filling curve and Hamiltonian Path fractal elements in designing wideband yet miniaturized top-loaded monopoles, ultra-passive RFID tags, polarization-insensitive high-impedance surfaces, electrically-thin microwave absorbers, single-negative (SNG) and double-negative (DNG) metamaterials, and metasurfaces with non-uniformly spaced inclusions for printed antenna beam shaping. We will highlight the key features of these novel structures and provide physical insights into both theoretical and experimental results. Please join us at 5:30PM for networking and light refreshments!
