Microwave Breast Cancer Detection概要
It is estimated that the incidence of breast cancer is approximate 190,000 in the US and 184,000 in the EU and some 13,000 women will die from breast cancer in the UK alone annually. The gold standard breast cancer screening tool is currently mammography; limitations (particularly ionising radiation problems) of X-ray mammography provide clear motivation for the development of a non-invasive, low-risk breast-imaging system to assist in rapid and objective detection and diagnosis.This seminar is aimed at discussing if the microwave imaging technique could be an alternative. The recent progress in this area will be reviewed, and relevant activities in the University of Liverpool will be reported.

About the Speaker
Prof Yi Huang received BSc in Physics (Wuhan), MSc in Microwave Engineering (Nanjing), and DPhil from the University of Oxford. He has been conducting research in the areas of applied electromagnetics, ground penetrating radar, radio communications and positioning, electromagnetic compatibility and measurements, and antennas over the past 24 years. His experience includes 3 years spent with NRIET (Nanjing, China) as a Radar Engineer and various periods with the Universities of Birmingham, Oxford, and Essex as a member of research staff. He worked as a Research Fellow at British Telecom Labs. He jointed the University of Liverpool as an academic member of staff in 1995 where he is now the Head of the High Frequency Engineering Research Group. He is also the MSc Programme Director. Dr Huang has published over 200 refereed international journals and conference papers, and is the principal author of Antennas: from Theory to Practice (by John Wiley). He has received numerous research grants from research councils, government agencies, charity, EU, and industry, acted as a consultant to various companies, and served on a number of national and international technical committees. He has been an invited speaker at many conferences/workshops, an editorial board member, guest editor and reviewer for three professional journals. He is a Fellow of IEE (now IET), Senior Member of IEEE, and the Leader of Focus Area D (broadband antennas) of European COST-IC0603.
