Ansoft's Founder, Chairman, and CTO Dr. Zoltan Cendes Elected IEEE Fellow

Jan 30, 2003

PITTSBURGH--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jan. 28, 2003--Ansoft Corporation (Nasdaq:ANST) today announced that Dr. Zoltan Cendes, the company's Founder, Chairman, and Chief Technology Officer, was recently elected an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Fellow for his outstanding contributions to the application of finite-element modeling to microwave guides, structures, and circuits.

Dr. Cendes was the first microwave engineer to develop the finite-element technique using edge elements in the solution of the vector wave equation. His early accomplishments led to the development of HFSS(TM), the industry-standard high-frequency tool for 3D electromagnetic-based design, a program that literally changed how microwave engineers work.

Dr. Cendes' election to IEEE Fellow, effective January 1, represents one of the Institute's most prestigious honors and the highest grade of membership in the organization. "It's wonderful to see this honor bestowed upon Zol," said Nick Csendes, Ansoft's President and CEO. "His dedication to finite-element analysis has made him a pioneer in the field of high-frequency electromagnetics; and his commitment, technical expertise, and visionary outlook over the years have made Ansoft the leader it is today."

Dr. Cendes has been responsible for Ansoft's product and technology research and for the overall direction of the company's software since he founded the corporation in 1984. In addition to his responsibilities at Ansoft, Dr. Cendes is an adjunct professor of electrical and computer engineering at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, where he served as both an Associate Professor and Professor for 14 years. He also is a Distinguished Lecturer for the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S), a member of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technique (MTT) Technical Committee on Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE), and serves on the editorial board of the International Journal of RF and Microwave Computer-Aided Engineering. Additionally, Dr. Cendes has served on the International Steering Committee of the COMPUMAG Conference and of the IEEE Conference on Electromagnetic Field Computation. He received his master's and doctoral degrees in Electrical Engineering from McGill University in Montreal, Canada.
