Breast Microwave Tomography Reconstruction using Ultra Wide Band Radar Images

The research to be conducted involves the development of new technology that can detect breast cancer tumours using microwave technology. The necessary mathematical research to perform microwave imaging of the breast will be pursued together with the hardware design needed for such a system. The expertise and academic goals of the two interns offer a combination that will benefit this project. Both interns will be involved in the mathematical algorithms with the unique opportunity of acquiring experience on antenna design and microwave hardware systems in the area of microwave breast imaging that will help to establish realistic theoretical goals.
