Biography
He was elected Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical Engineering of ETH. In 1992 he was Invited Professor at the Electromagnetics Laboratory of Motorola Inc. in Florida, USA and in 1998 at the Metropolitan University of Tokyo, Japan. In 1999 he was appointed Director of the Foundation for Research on Information Technologies in Society, Switzerland.
Research Interest
His research interests are currently focused on the area of reliable on/in-body wireless communications and related topics. This includes 1) measurement technology and 2) computational electrodynamics for evaluation of close near-fields in complex environments (e.g., handheld or body-mounted transceivers, living-work environments, etc.); 3) safe and reliable wireless communication links within the body or between implanted devices and the outside for biometrics applications; 4) development of exposure setups and quality control for bioexperiments evaluating interaction mechanisms, therapeutic effects as well as potential health risks; and 5) exposure assessments.
