  Biomedical Imaging


  The field of biomedical 
  engineering involves the application of physical and engineering principles 
  and methods to biology and medicine.  The fundamental aim is to quantitatively 
  understand the properties of biological systems.
  New discoveries and 
  developments in biology and medicine are occurring with greater frequency now 
  than ever before.  This has lead to the rapid change and growth of 
  biotechnology research and industry.  Biomedical engineering is a booming 
  transdisciplinary field that bridges the gap between technology, medicine and 
  biology.  It integrates physical, chemical, mathematical, and computational 
  sciences and engineering principles with the ultimate aim of improving 
  healthcare.

  Communications

  
  The group is engaged in 
  research topics spanning both microwave, wireless, computational 
  electromagnetics and photonic engineering, including:
  
    
    
    Smart Antennas 
    
    
    
    Radar Target Recognition
    
    
    Vertical-Cavity 
    Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) 
    
    Dielectric 
    Resonators 
    
    Optical 
    Interconnects 
    
    Semiconductor 
    Device Physics. 
  
  
  Much of the research of the 
  group involves development of novel communications hardware such as antennas 
  for microwave communications or radar (including low profile antenna arrays, 
  smart antennas) as well as modeling of other electromagnetic phenomena. In the 
  Photonics area research is involved with the design and optimisation of 
  photonic devices and subsystems (including ultra-high bandwidth optical 
  interconnects, and optical data links based on Vertical-Cavity 
  Surface-Emitting Lasers and Tunable In-Plane Semiconductor lasers). Almost all 
  of the projects undertaken within the group involve extensive collaboration 
  with research groups from Australia and overseas including University of 
  California Santa Barbara USA, The University of Hong Kong, China,
  City University of Hong Kong, China, National University of 
  Singapore, Singapore, Federal Technical Institute (ETH) Zurich, 
  Switzerland, the University of Seville, Spain and the Australian 
  National University, Canberra.   
  
  The
  IEEE Microwave/Antenna Chapter in 
  Queensland has been established in 2002.
