Title: Analysis and simulations of Maxwell's equations in PMLs and graphene

Abstract：
Maxwell's equations play an important role in analyzing and modeling of wave propagation in electric and optical materials. In this talk, I'll focus on some new variations of time-dependent Maxwell's equations resulting from some complex electromagnetic materials such as graphene, and perfectly matched layers. Mathematical analysis and numerical simulations of these models will be discussed. Some open issues will be mentioned.
