Project Info


Electromagnetic Imaging using Time Reversal Technique

Atef Elsherbeni| aelsherb@mines.edu

The project will lead to a developed algorithm that will be useful for detecting buried or hidden objects in a homogeneous media. Examples include detection of buried mines, pipes, and medical diagnosis and imaging.
