Mae AlMansoori from TII's Directed Energy Research Center won the Young Scientist Award at URSI Kleinheubacher Tagung 2020. Her paper introduced a correlation metric to evaluate the influence of random variables on high-power electromagnetic sources, specifically a Vircator model. The study combined extreme value theory and descriptive statistics to analyze peak output power variability and identify dominant factors. Why it matters: The research offers a framework for managing uncertainties in high-power electromagnetic sources and optimizing their efficiency, relevant for defense and energy applications in the region.
