Advances in Computational Electromagnetics and Applications
This special issue belongs to the section “Microwave and Wireless Communications“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Computational electromagnetics (CEM) stands as a cornerstone of modern engineering, providing indispensable numerical tools to analyze, design, and innovate across a vast spectrum of technologies—from nano-photonics and quantum devices to massive antenna arrays and aerospace systems. By solving Maxwell's equations in complex, real-world scenarios, CEM bridges fundamental physics with groundbreaking applications in communications, sensing, and computing, making it a critical area of sustained research.
Aligning with the broad scope of Electronics, which encompasses the entire field of theoretical and applied electronic science, this Special Issue aims to capture the most recent and transformative advances in CEM methodologies. We seek high-quality contributions that push the boundaries of the field, with suggested themes including, but not limited to:
- novel fast algorithms and high-performance computing for electrically large and multiscale problems;
- advanced modeling of multiphysics interactions (electro-thermal, opto-mechanical, plasma-coupled);
- mesoscopic and stochastic electromagnetic phenomena;
- emerging frontiers in quantum electromagnetics and light-matter interaction at the quantum level;
- and data-driven approaches for optimization, inverse design, and AI-enhanced modeling.
This collection will highlight the cutting-edge algorithms and innovative applications that are defining the next generation of electronic and photonic systems.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 250 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for assessment.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Electronics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
