Applied Electromagnetism is one of the research lines within the Electrical Systems concentration area of PPGEL. Research in this field covers various topics related to the modeling, analysis, and application of electromagnetic theory to electrical systems. Studies are conducted with computational tools, laboratory prototype construction, and, in some cases, field experiments. Among other topics, researchers in this field develop projects in the following areas:

1. Electrical grounding, considering electromagnetic transient phenomena with a special focus on the implications of lightning discharges;
2. Antenna analysis and radio wave propagation;
3. Wireless power transmission and harvesting systems, including rectennas and resonant coils, as well as studies on metamaterials and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC);
4. Mathematical and computational modeling of electromagnetic phenomena, utilizing numerical methods such as the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) Method, Finite Element Method (FEM), Boundary Integral Equation Method, Method of Moments, and Meshless Methods.
