IEEE AP/MTT/EMC Chapter Committee meeting and Chapter event
Co-sponsored by Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering
Introduction to committee - closed meeting for AP/MTT/EMC committee
AP/MTT/EMC community: 50 minute talk presented by Elya Joffe: AP/MTT/EMC
"One of the problems with grounding is the term itself... it's too vague. Often a single ground may serve multiple needs with different rule to each"
The concept of "grounding" is probably among the most important yet less understood topic of electronic design often considered as "black magic". Yet – grounding forms an inseparable part of all electronic and electrical designs from circuit through system up to installation design. Grounding is implemented for EMC and ESD protection for safety purposes for lightning and surge protection, etc.
Conclusion:10 minutes of questions and discussion.

Speaker:
Elya Joffe of K.T.M. Project Engineering
Topic: Introduction to IEEE EMC
During this session, Mr Joffe will introduce the IEEE EMC. Mr Joffe serves as the "angel" to the IEEE EMC Chapter, IEEE South Africa Section and will strategise with the local chapter on future events (2010 and beyond).
Biography:
Mr Joffe is employed by K.T.M. Project Engineering - an engineering consulting company in Israel, since 1987. He currently holds a position of the V.P. of Engineering and works as a Senior EMC engineering Specialist and consultant. Elya holds a B.ScEE in Electrical Engineering from the Ben Gurion University in Israel, is a Registered Professional Engineer and a iNARTE (International Association of Radio and telecommunications Engineer) certified EMC and ESD Control Engineer.
Elya has over 25 years of experience in government and industry, in EMC/E3 (Electromagnetic Compatibility/Electromagnetic Environmental Effects) for electronic systems and platforms (in particular – aircraft and aerospace). He is actively involved, as an EMC/E3 Specialist, in the EMC design of commercial and defense systems, from circuits to full platforms. His work covers various fields in the discipline of EMC, such as NEMP and Lightning Protection design, as well as numerical modeling for solution of EMC Problems. Mr Joffe is also well known in Israel and abroad for his activities in EMC training and education, and has authored, developed and presents many courses on Electromagnetic Compatibility and related topics. He has authored and co-authored over 30 papers in EMC and EMC-related topics, both in the IEEE Transactions on EMC and Broadcasting, as well as in the proceedings of International EMC Symposia.
Mr Joffe is Senior Member of IEEE, and has served as a member of the IEEE EMC Society of the Board of Directors since the year 2000. Elya is currently serving as the 2008-2009 President of the EMC Society of the IEEE and served as VP for Member Services and VP for Conferences and Symposia. He is also the Immediate Past Chairman of the Israel IEEE EMC Chapter. Elya is a Chartered Member of the IEEE Product Safety Engineering Society (PSES) and served as VP for Conferences and Symposia on its Board of Directors. Elya is currently a member of the PSES BoD. Mr Joffe also served as a "Distinguished Lecturer" of the IEEE EMC Society, for the years 1999 through 2000.
Mr Joffe is also a member of the Board of Directors of iNARTE.
Mr Joffe received several awards from the IEEE and EMC Society for his activities. In particular - he is a recipient of the IEEE EMC Society "Laurence G. Cumming Award for Outstanding Service" for "outstanding Service and leadership as the Israeli IEEE EMC Chapter Chairman, contributing to the EMC standardization of commercial products in Israel, promotion of the IEEE International EMC Symposium as Chairman and Contributing to the overall success of the IEEE EMC Society" (Ca. 2002) , the "Honorary Life Member Award" of the IEEE EMC Society for "outstanding service to the EMC Society in globalization, regional and international standardization, and for on-going EMC chapters and membership initiatives" (Ca. 2004) , the IEEE EMC Society "Technical; Achievement Award" for "over two decades of significant professional achievements in airborne and avionics EMC and printed circuit design/analysis for fast digital/analog signals and for significant contributions to the understanding of interference coupling to avionics, and RFI emissions from avionics and cost effective EMC measures for increasing systems' immunity to EMI" (Ca. 2004), the IEEE EMC Society "Symposium Chair Award" "in appreciation for contribution as Chair of the 2003 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility in Istanbul" (Ca. 2004) and the IEEE "Third Millennium Medal" "…in recognition and appreciation of valued services and outstanding contributions".
Elya is also the recipient of the very prestigious "2006 IEEE RAB Larry K. Wilson Transnational Award" "for outstanding contribution to enhancement of the transnational character of IEEE through promotion of conferences, membership and chapter development on a regional and global basis".
