Wireless power and data telemetry technologies for biomedical and healthcare applications have received a lot of attention recently. Numerous applications in medical diagnostics and therapeutics ranging from cardiac pacemakers to emerging devices in visual prosthesis, brain computer interfaces and body area networks have spurred electronic engineers to propose new wireless medical devices. In the meantime, the ageing population poses many challenges to healthcare systems, especially on chronic illness management.
In this talk, I would mainly cover our recent research progress on wearable/implantable antennas and wireless power for biomedical applications. In addition, I would also briefly introduce my other research activities including millimeter-wave antennas and antenna bandwidth enhancement techniques.
In Memoriam Prof. Dr Julien Perruisseau-Carrier
Bio: Dr Yongxin Guo is an Associate Professor of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), National University of Singapore (NUS) and Director of Center for Microwave and Radio Frequency at the Department of ECE of NUS. He received his Ph.D. degree from City University of Hong Kong in 2001. From September 2001 to January 2009, he was with the Institute for Infocomm Research, Singapore, as a Research Scientist. He has authored or co-authored 140 international journal papers and 157 international conference papers. He holds one Chinese Patent, one U.S. patent and one filed PCT patent. His current research interests include microstrip antennas for wireless communications, implantable/wearable antennas and body channel modeling for medical applications, wireless power and RF energy harvesting, microwave circuits, and MMIC modeling and design.
Dr Guo is the General Chair for 2015 IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series on Advanced Materials and processes for RF and THz Applications (IMWS-AMP 2015), July 01-03, Suzhou, China. He was the General Chair for IEEE MTT-S International Microwave Workshop Series 2013 on “RF and Wireless Technologies for biomedical and Healthcare Applications" (IMWS2013-Bio) in Singapore. He is serving as an Associate Editor for IEEE Antennas and Wireless Propagation Letters (AWPL). He was a recipient of the Young Investigator Award 2009, National University of Singapore. He is the 2013 “Raj Mittra” Travel Grant Senior Researcher Award recipient.
