The Applied Electromagnetism Group focuses its research activities on the following topics:
1) Development of theoretical and numerical approaches for computational electromagnetics. Analytical and numerical modeling for the development of components and for the solution of direct and inverse electromagnetic scattering problems.
2) Study of radar systems and techniques for naval, industrial and civil applications. Development of innovative reconstruction methods for Ground Penetrating Radar. Study of innovative approaches for the evaluation of the radar cross section (RCS) and for the estimation of the magnetic signature in the naval/maritime field.
3) Development of methods and systems for qualitative and quantitative electromagnetic imaging in the context of non-destructive testing, environmental monitoring (including atmospheric precipitation monitoring and sub-surface prospecting), safety technologies, through-the-wall sensing, and biomedical diagnostics.
4) Study and design of broadband antennas and intelligent systems for antenna signal processing. Study and design of smart antennas and their characterization in complex environments. Development of methods for antenna diagnostics. Design and analysis of RFID devices and systems; development of processing methods for extracting the information contained in such devices.
5) Characterization of innovative materials for electromagnetic applications.
6) Development of models and apparatus for the evaluation of interactions between electromagnetic fields and biological systems. Study of the interaction mechanisms between electromagnetic fields and biological systems for low intensity laser applications.
