Allen Taflove, professor of electrical and computer engineering at Northwestern Engineering who conducted pioneering work in the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method, passed away at age 71 on April 25, 2021. He will be remembered for his groundbreaking research and dedication to education and advising.
Taflove’s roots at the McCormick School of Engineering ran deep, receiving his bachelor’s, master’s, and PhD here. After serving as a researcher at IIT Research Institute, Taflove returned to Northwestern and became a full professor in 1988.
In research, Taflove developed fundamental theoretical approaches, algorithms, and scientific and engineering applications of the FDTD method computational solutions of the fundamental Maxwell s equations of classical electrodynamics. He was celebrated by the IEEE, becoming the first fellow for FDTD technique work as well as receiving the group’s Electromagnetics Award. His groundbreaking research has bee

The Chautauqua Lake and Watershed Management Alliance has scheduled its 2021 Chautauqua Lake Water Quality Research Panel for April 10 from 9:30-11 a.m.
Once again the Alliance is partnering with Chautauqua Institution to host the panel on its Virtual Porch online portal.
Details on keynote speakers and topics will be forthcoming, as will registration details, but the panel expected to include a range of scientists and researchers working on lake monitoring projects.

The use of herbicides in Chautauqua Lake north of Long Point State Park is shaping up to be a contentious issue in 2021.
Applications for herbicide permits in Chautauqua Lake have already been delivered to the state DEC asking for permission to use herbicide on about 900 acres of Chautauqua Lake.
A study of submerged vegetation throughout the lake by North Carolina University students found Eurasian milfoil as the second-most prominent type of vegetation in the town of Chautauqua’s waters. Out of 381 sampling locations, 93% contained vegetation, with 44% of the locations having moderate vegetation and 28% sparse vegetation. In Mayville 113 locations were samples, all of which had vegetation and 72% of which were modera

We’ve been critical of the Chautauqua Lake Watershed and Management Alliance in the past, but we’re heartened by something that came to light this week.
The alliance has issued a grant covering potential herbicide treatment of Chautauqua Lake in 2021. The village had approved submitting its application for herbicides to the state Department of Environmental Conservation earlier in February but did not have money in its budget to pay for the treatment.
That was to be expected given the limits COVID-19 has placed on municipal revenues. Money needed to be spent on basic services, not herbicide treatments. And it was unsure if foundations or private donors would be able to pay for treatments this year either if the amount was above and beyond what the foundations had already committed to the alliance.
