Detailed Examination of Electromagnetic Propagation/Radiation in Human Organs, Tissues and Cells
Abstract
PROJECT OBJECTIVE: Electromagnetic bioeffects associated with Directed Energy Weapons remains at the forefront of DoD science and technology interest associated with emerging new technologies, development, and deployment. Understanding organs, tissues, and cells perturbed with electromagnetic energy is one of DoDÕs specific interests. This project aims to engage in basic research focusing on detailed examination and systematic study directed towards greater knowledge and understanding of the fundamental aspects of both phenomena and observable facts of electromagnetic propagation and radiation in human organs, tissues and cells. This work includes all scientific study, experimentation and modelling of electromagnetic radiation and propagation in complete human parts. INTELLECTUAL MERIT: The anticipated results will be directed towards increasing fundamental knowledge and understanding of electromagnetic bioeffects, i.e., organs, tissues, and cells, perturbed with electromagnetic, i.e., electric and/or magnetic energy from high-power/high-frequency electromagnetic spectrum. The findings will provide deeper understanding of fundamental atomic/molecular mechanisms associated with electromagnetic perturbation that occur below damage thresholds and may give insight into new novel means of human performance enhancement, biological control, and man-machine interface. BROADER IMPACTS: The innovative approaches of this research project will develop stronger science and engineering programs that will enable UTRGV to participate more competitively in a variety of defense research programs, increase the number of STEM students by exposing them to state-of-the art research, and determine them to pursue careers in STEM disciplines of the defense mission. UTRGV encourages the integration of research with education as a fundamental objective to enhance the capacity of HBCU/MI to participate in DoD research and promote advancement of science and technology. Seminars and presentations will be given to a broader range of audience. Results will be appropriately disseminated in high impact factor journal publications and conference presentations.
