Research Overview

We aim to design and develop new medical devices that support health and wellness of individuals and patients. Our research spans the entire patient pathway, with current research projects and technologies in the following areas:

Additionally, we conduct studies to measure, characterize, and model the electrical and electromagnetic properties of healthy and diseased biological tissues, as the foundation for these medical technologies.

health screening
detection
imaging
recovery monitoring
treatment tracking
decision-making
therapies

microwave radar
radio-frequency (RF) measurements
electrical impedance tomography
microwave ablation

Research Projects

We take a systems-oriented approach to device design, and typical projects often span from computational modelling studies to experimental benchtop studies with tissue-mimicking phantoms to clinical pilot studies.

Example research areas:

antenna and array design
computational and experimental modelling
tissue-mimicking phantom design and fabrication
interfacing with the human body
dielectric measurement and characterization of tissues
RF or microwave or impedance measurement system prototyping
safety analysis
metadata structures and reporting
signal post-processing
image reconstruction
machine learning
open-source data and algorithms

Example clinical areas:

skin lesion detection and differentiation
tumour and margin mapping
bladder state detection
treatment of bone cancer metastases
treatment progression tracking
stroke detection and monitoring
wound and healing monitoring
post-surgery healing and reconstruction predictions
