Body-centric Electromagentic Solutions for Wearable Technologies and Nano-scale Communciation/Sensing Applications in Healthcare
With the advent of commercial products, such as the Apple iWatch and Samsung Galaxy Gear, body-centric communication has increasingly garnered public attention and smoothly translated state-of-the-art research work into reality. However, challenges still remain, and these are often fundamental physical hurdles that need to be further explored and investigated to come up with efficient and scalable solutions applicable to many fields and areas. This becomes an important research area when you look at the scale or rather the multiple scales it needs to work at, from body-size or larger networks to the nano-scale, where there have been lots of interest recently on how to get nano-devices inside tissues and even inside intelligent materials around us. The talk will present recent development in the area of antennas, RF devices, and electromagnetic solutions for applications such as healthcare and biomedical engineering with the application of textile and flexible substrates in realizing those advanced concepts.
