  • FACULTY:
    UGent-imec
  • DEPARTMENT:
    Department of Information Technology
  • RESEARCH GROUP:
    WAVES
  • FUNCTION:
    100% Professor
  • WORK ADDRESS:
    Technologiepark-Zwijnaarde 126, 9052 Zwijnaarde, Belgium
  • SUMMARY:
    Our research group WAVES has a decades-long experience in full-wave electromagnetic-field simulations that include the human body. These simulations are done in the context of human exposure assessment, performance analysis of wireless body area networks, and evaluation of the in-body electromagnetic field generated by ingestible and insertable medical devices (including neurostimulation devices). WAVES couples in-body electromagnetic simulations with biophysically inspired computational models of neuronal excitability, for the purpose of quantifying intended or unintended neurostimulation. Wout Joseph’s professional interests are electromagnetic field exposure assessment, in-body electromagnetic field modelling, electromagnetic medical applications, Wireless body area networks, Human Safety Guidelines via Nerve Activation Intercomparison, modelling of neuronal stimulation electrodes.

Wout Joseph is professor in the domain of Experimental Characterization of wireless communication systems (since 2009) and IMEC PI (since 2017). His professional interests are electromagnetic field exposure assessment, in-body electromagnetic field modelling, electromagnetic medical applications, computational neuromodelling , propagation for wireless communication systems, IoT, antennas and calibration.
