DESCRIPTION:Biography: Dr. D. V. Giri is a consultant based in Brooklyn\, 
 New York\, performing R&D work for the U.S. Govt. and Industry. He is also
  an Adjunct Professor in the Dept. of ECE\, University of New Mexico\, Alb
 uquerque. Dr. Giri has over 40 years of experience in the general field of
  EM theory and its applications in NEMP (Nuclear EM Pulse)\, HPM (High-Pow
 er Microwaves)\, Lightning\, and UWB (Ultra Wideband). Dr. Giri was a Rese
 arch Associate for the National Research Council at the Air Force Research
  Laboratory (AFRL)\, Kirtland AFB\, New Mexico\, where he conducted resear
 ch in EMP and other aspects of EM theory. He is a Life Fellow of the IEEE\
 , Member of Commission B\, URSI\, International Chairman of Commission E\,
  URSI (2104-2017)\, SUMMA Foundation Fellow\, and Recipient of the IEEE An
 tennas and Propagation Society’s 2006 John Kraus Antenna Award. He has a
 uthored two books: High-Power Microwave Systems and Effects published by T
 aylor and Francis in 1994 and High-Power EM Radiators: Nonlethal Weapons a
 nd Other Applications published by Harvard University Press in 2004. He co
 -authored the book High-Power Radio Frequency Effects on Electronic System
 s\, published by Artech House in 2020. He is a recipient of the 2017 Carl 
 Baum Medal. He obtained the B.Sc.\, Mysore University\, India\, (1964)\, B
 .E.\, M.E.\, Indian Institute of Science\, (1967) (1969)\, M.S.\, Ph.D.\, 
 Harvard University\, (1973) (1975)\, Certificate\, Harvard Introduction to
  Business Program\, (1981).\n15:30 to 16:45- A visiting tour of Swiss Fede
 ral Institute of Technology (METAS) \n17:00 to 18:00- DML talk by Dr. Dav

 s)\n\n\nTHERAPEUTIC AND DIAGNOSTIC USES OF EM ENERGY IN EMERGING MEDICAL T
 ECHNOLOGIES\nIn this presentation\, we review the medical uses of EM energ
 y in both diagnosis and therapy. The EM spectrum ranging from DC to Gamma 
 rays and beyond is a vast natural resource that has been very valuable for
  humankind. With the rapid advances of medical technology\, Radio Frequenc
 y (RF) techniques are becoming increasingly popular for a variety of appli
 cations such as non-invasive diagnosis\, continuous monitoring of physiolo
 gical data\, communication between implanted devices\, and communication t
 o external devices. Therapeutic applications of EM energy can be broadly c
 lassified into two groups as (1) conventional and (2) emerging therapies. 
 Examples of conventional therapies are: a) hyperthermia (thermal therapy)\
 , b) MRI\, c) X-ray and d) CT scan. In the emerging category are a) THz Im
 agery and b) implantable devices. Medical applications are possible at man
 y frequencies such as DC\, RF\, Microwave\, X rays and Gamma rays. In the 
 past decade there have been some remarkable strides made by EM application
 s implemented in medical technologies. This talk summarizes some significa
 nt developments with EMs in emerging medical technologies.\n\nPlease find
