Brief Bio
P. M. Mendes graduated in 1995, and obtained his MSc degree in Electrical Engineering, in 1999, both from University of Coimbra, Portugal. He obtained his PhD degree in Industrial Electronics, from University of Minho, in 2005. From 2013, he is an Associate Professor at University of Minho, and is a researcher at CMEMS-UMinho, University of Minho. He is an author of more than 170 papers, and his interests are in the field of electromagnetic waves, fabrication and characterization of RF micro and nanodevices, and antennas for wireless microsystems, with application to different areas.

SCOPE

Electromagnetic waves play a fundamental role in healthcare. For example, wireless communication and wireless power transfer are technologies that support the operation of biodevices such as wearables and implants. EM waves are also used for sensing and actuation in the human body, with applications such as optogenetics, Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, RF ablation, photoacoustics and photodynamic therapy.

Researchers are invited to submit original research and review articles that are related to the use of EM waves in biodevices.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
  • Wireless Power Transfer
  • Wireless Communication
  • Optogenetics
  • Photoacoustics
  • Electromagnetic Waves
  • Healthcare
  • Implants
  • Wearables
