Biomedical Engineering

Biomedical engineering (BME) is a rapidly growing transdisciplinary field that bridges the gap between technology, medicine and biology. The core aim of BME is to find practical solutions in medical and biomedical sciences using engineering approaches and analyses. There are many areas in health care where engineering approaches are needed, for example, developing life support systems, designing devices to aid the impaired or disabled, or creating systems to allow better diagnosis of medical disorders. Consequently Biomedical Engineers are vital in the management of technology in hospitals and health care delivery.

Areas of focus

Our primary expertise is imaging and electromagnetic technologies and theory.
Our areas of focus are:

• New imaging technologies and methods for information extraction from images (industrial, security and medical applications);

• Bioelectromagnetics/Biophotonics, from a fundamental “how does EM interact with tissue” viewpoint , as well as safety and new device design;

• Medical instrumentation
