About the team

In recent years (since 2009), thousands of lines in MATLAB have been written for the research carried out at the Department of Electromagnetic Field at CTU in Prague. These codes utilize current theoretical findings and present a unique electromagnetic software tool based on method of moments solver. Importantly, this well-known computational basis is followed by modal decomposition of radiation sources which is accomplished mainly by means of characteristic modes. Many theoretical achievements of the source concept have been implemented so the user can enjoy direct approach to various operators in matrix form.

Since such tool might be of interest for the broader scientific community and since most universities and researchers use the MATLAB platform, our codes have been embedded into a user-friendly pack as a MATLAB toolbox named Antenna Toolbox for MATLAB (AToM). In connection with team from VUT Brno and our commercial partner MECAS ESI, the AToM project received funding for 2014 - 2017 from the Technological Agency of Czech Republic and was released in January 2018.

Together with AToM, one additional toolbox has been developed. Fast Optimization Routines, FOPS, is a powerful package which contains a plethora of optimization algorithms, both deterministic and stochastic, single- and multi-objective. It can be used for solving myriad of practical engineering problems. It can be also directly combined with AToM, for example to run antenna pixelization.

Petr Kadlec

Petr Kadlec I was born in Brno, Czech Republic, in 1985. I received the BS and MS from the Brno University of Technology, Czech Republic, in Electronics and Communications, in 2007 and 2009, respectively. In 2012 I defended the Ph.D. thesis entitled "Multi-Objective Optimization of Electromagnetic Structures Based on Self-Organizing Migration". I am focused on numerical modelling of EM structures and global optimization methods. In our "antennatoolbox team", I am responsible for programming of the geometry module and for the optimization tool FOPS. My hobbies are sports, books, movies and theatre. I am member of floorball team Bulldogs Brno, that participates in the highest division in Czech republic. I was also member of the national university team that won theWorld University Floorball Championship in 2012. My motto (that is some times hard to meet): "Do everything as precise as you can..."
