The mission
I believe in making technology accessible to everyone. In a world increasingly dependent on telecommunication, EMerge provides free Python modules that deliver essential features without any costs. The goal is to empower users with simple, tools that meet their needs.
Behind EMerge
EMerge is currently a solo project by me, Robert Fennis. As a Dutch electrical engineer, I have a deep passion for the beauty of computational electrodynamics.
The journey of EMerge began over five years ago when I with a friend to develop a FDTD solver in Python (which never really well). After this, I worked on a simple circuit simulator, now known as Heavi.
After years of grappling with the mathematics, I finally mastered the Finite Element Method earlier this year. Since the start of 2025, I have dedicated myself to EMerge and thrilled to announce its upcoming release on September 1st!
The current market for EM simulation software is largely dominated by either costly, feature-heavy programs or freeware that can be cumbersome to navigate. Additionally, while user experience improvements are often focused on graphical user interfaces, code-based programs tend to become abstract and overly academic. One of my main frustrations with GUI-based software is that much of the data processing still occurs Python or Matlab. The communication of data between these two tends to be very labour intensive.
I prefer to execute and process my simulations within a single environment.
As an engineer without a formal mathematical training, I have the practical experience to understand my needs: a user-friendly Python module with sufficient features to get the job done.
