On 21 August 2015, at the IEEE EMC Society Award Ceremony held at Dresden, Germany, Dr LI ERPING has been conferred the “2015 Richard SToddart Award for Outstanding Performance” for his outstanding contribution on developing novel modeling techniques to solve complex EMC problems, 3D IC and system Integration and nanodevices”.
The Richard Stoddart Award is the highest scientific Award in IEEE EMC Society “ to recogise an exceptional individuals in contributing to the advancement of EMC technology or in contributing to the solution of a socio-technological problem.” The Stoddart Award was established in 1979 and is named after Richard R. Stoddart, who was born in 1900 in New York, a Renown Scientist and Entrepreneur in Wireless Technologies. He was made an IEEE Fellow in 1958. The Stoddart Award is given annually to maximum of one award per year , and the winner can only win the award once. The award was first presented in 1979 to Dr. Ralph Showers, a Renown Professor at University of Pennsylvania. Since the Award inception in 1979, only 37 renown scientists or engineers from North America and Europe received this prestigious award.
Dr. Er-Ping Li, with A*STAR Institute of High Performance Computing, Singapore, as a Principal Scientist, has been engaged in computational electromagnetics and microwave theory and techniques in general, and in EMC/EMI, high speed electronic interconnects, integrated circuits, power and signal integrity, packaging and large-scale problems and 2D nanomaterial for RF electronics in particular. He has pioneered the research in the area of field-theoretical CAD and modeling and its applications to EMC/EMI/ESD problems as well as to microwave active and passive devices and circuits. In particular, he has broken new ground in the signal and power integrity and EMI modeling of 3D electronic packaging systems including multilayer PCB packages, and in the modeling of the electromagnetic susceptibility of electronic systems. Moreover, Er-Ping Li pioneered the EMC testing in reverberation chambers through the use of moveable, directly energized electronic stirrers. He has also greatly and substantially contributed to the development of efficient, practical methods to simulate large-scale EMC problems. It is worth mentioning that most of his computational electromagnetics work has found its way into industry to solve practical design problems thus greatly shortening the product design cycles. In recent years, he also devoted his efforts on nanotechnology for RF electronics and EMC.
