Physics (PHYS)
The fundamental theory of electric and magnetic fields is developed and applied to problems in biology and medicine. Examples in medical diagnostics and treatment are built upon rigorous application of Maxwell's equations and constitutive models of electromagnetic properties of biomaterials.
