Division Spotlight
Young Members Group
The Young Members Group works to encourage and enable all young professional members to be actively involved in the efforts and endeavors of the Society at all levels (Professional Divisions, ANS Governance, Local Sections, etc.) as they transition from the role of a student to the role of a professional. It sponsors non-technical workshops and meetings that provide professional development and networking opportunities for young professionals, collaborates with other Divisions and Groups in developing technical and non-technical content for topical and national meetings, encourages its members to participate in the activities of the Groups and Divisions that are closely related to their professional interests as well as in their local sections, introduces young members to the rules and governance structure of the Society, and nominates young professionals for awards and leadership opportunities available to members.

Electromagnetic field modeling in ICRF on the basis of standard mesh methods is complicated by different space scales of slow and fast waves. For this reason, a new method based on the approximation of solution by polynomial-exponential basic functions is proposed for advanced modeling of rapidly oscillating solutions. The method has been studied for the Helmholtz equation in comparison with standard mesh methods. The new method provides the same accuracy on a substantially rarer mesh. This advantage is more pronounced, if the solution varies very rapidly. The formalism of employment of the first-order local solution method for the boundary problem for Maxwell's equations in a slab geometry is presented. The problem of elimination of possible degeneration of the local solutions is discussed.
