Emerging Trends in Terahertz Engineering and System Technologies : Devices, Materials, Imaging, Data Acquisition and Processing

This book highlights emerging trends in terahertz engineering and system technologies,  mainly, devices, advanced materials, and various applications in THz technology. It includes advanced topics such as terahertz biomedical imaging, pattern recognition and tomographic reconstruction for THz biomedical imaging by use of  machine learning and artificial intelligence, THz imaging radars for autonomous vehicle applications, THZ imaging system for security and surveillance. It also discusses theoretical, experimental, established and validated empirical work on these topics and the intended audience is both academic and professional.

Dr. Arindam Biswas received his M.Tech. in Radio Physics and Electronics from the University of Calcutta, India, in 2010, and Ph.D. from NIT Durgapur, in 2013. He was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Pusan National University, South Korea, under the prestigious BK21PLUS Fellowship. He was a Visiting Professor at Research Institute of Electronics, Shizuoka University, Japan. Currently, Dr. Biswas is working as an Assistant Professor in the School of Mines and Metallurgy, Kazi Nazrul University, Asansol, West Bengal, India. His research interests are in the area of carrier transport in low-dimensional systems and electronic devices, nonlinear optical communications and THz semiconductor sources.
