Nik Chavannes received his MS and PhD degrees in electrical engineering from the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH), Zurich, Switzerland. In 1996, he joined the Bioelectromagnetics/EMC Group (BIOEM/EMC) at ETH Zurich where he was involved in computational electrodynamics and related dosimetric applications. From 1998 to 2002, he was with the Laboratory for Electromagnetic Fields and Microwave Electronics (IFH) as well as the Laboratory for Integrated Systems (IIS) at ETH Zurich. There, his research activities focused on the development of FDTD local refinement techniques and their application to numerical near-field analysis. He joined the Foundation for Research on Information Technologies in Society (IT'IS) in late 1999 at the time of its formation. He is currently leading the software and numerics efforts at IT'IS, including computational electromagnetics (CEM) and the simulation platform SEMCAD X.
