Nicolas Mora and Farhad Rachidi (EPFL EMC Laboratory) were the recipient of the 2019 Motohisa Kanda Award for the most cited paper of the IEEE Transactions on EMC in the past five years. This award was given during the 2019 IEEE Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility and Signal and Power Integrity, which took place in July in New Orleans. The award recognizes the most ‘significant’ paper in the past five years in terms of the highest citation count.

Nicolas Mora and Farhad Rachidi received this award for his paper entitled “A comparison of frequency-dependent soil models: application to the analysis of grounding systems” co-authored by Damir Cavka.

This is the second time Farhad Rachidi has been awarded with the Kanda Award.

 Paper: ‘A Comparison of Frequency-Dependent Soil Models: Application to the Analysis of Grounding Systems’, published in the IEEE Transactions on Electromagnetic Compatibility, Vol. 56, No. 1, pp. 177-187, February 2014.
