The Computational Electromagnetics Laboratory (CEM Lab.) was founded in 1993 at the CSIR-National
Aerospace Laboratories (CSIR-NAL) to initiate the activities in the area of computational electromagnetics
for aerospace applications. CEM Lab was provided status of a seperate R&D centre as the Centre for
Electromagnetics (CEM), w.e.f. Jan 1 2013. CEM proposes to stimulate and nurture the low-volume,
high-value industries through Innovation Driven Technologies in the niche areas where it decidedly has
