Advanced Computational Toolkit for Engineered Optical Materials (ACTEOM)

CgMx Logo

Introduction

ACTEOM is a DARPA funded project, part of the EXTREME program, with the goal of developing an Advanced Computational Toolkit for Engineered Optical Materials (ACTEOM). The ACTEOM project is a collaboration with Professor Douglas Werner (Purdue University), Professor Alexander Kilidshev (Purdue University) and Dr. Garret McGraw (E X H Inc.).  The focus of the research at Rensselaer is on the development of efficient high-order accurate schemes for solving the dispersive Maxwell's equations.
