To understand that humans - in biological sense - are a "product" of their environment, with which they interact as never before. To gain insights into the interaction mechanisms when exposed to environmental factors, resulting effects and health hazards. Derivation of protective measures and safety standards. The emphasis is on the radiation fields that have been emerging over the past few decades due to the technological developments.

Advanced Electromagnetics

Objectives: 

This course treats two problems of advanced electromagnetics by way of small project assignments. These projects use existing numerical tools. The following topics are covered:

  • Interaction between fields and biological media including the SAR calculation for a person (using the FDTD method)
  • Study of Swiss rolls as a typical metamaterial example (using the Fast Multipole Method and FMM software)
