2. Towards Microwave Detection of Thromboses
Abstract : Stroke is estimated to be the second most common cause of death with huge burdens and costs for the patient and society. Since the treatment given to a stroke patient depends on the type of stroke they have, a fast and reliable diagnosis of the stroke type is needed before any treatment can be started. READ MORE

4. Enhancing Tropospheric Humidity Data Records from Satellite Microwave and Radiosonde Sensors
Abstract : Water vapor is the most dominant greenhouse gas and plays a critical role in the climate by regulating the Earth's radiation budget and hydrological cycle. A comprehensive dataset is required to describe the temporal and spatial distribution of water vapor, evaluate the performance of climate and weather prediction models in terms of simulating tropospheric humidity, and understand the role of water vapor and its feedback in the climate system.

5. Advances in Microwave Hyperthermia Treatment using Time Reversal
Abstract : The last twenty years have seen many clinical studies showing the ability of hyperthermia to remarkably enhance response to radiation therapy and chemotherapy. The objective of hyperthermia treatment is to raise the temperature in tumors to therapeutic levels, for a sufficient period of time, in order to achieve cell death or render the cells more sensitive to ionizing radiation and/or chemotherapy.
