Electromagntic Waves Interaction with Human Tissues

Atef Elsherbeni | aelsherb@mines.edu

With the recent introduction of 5G technology and the use of higher frequencies for communication devices, there is a great need to understand the effects of electromagntic waves on human tissues. Assessment of the wave penetration and associated temperature rise in human tissues are considered in this research project.
