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.
