Research and Development Topics

The research tracks are embodied in three main activities: first, using numerical methods to model physical fields (solving coupled problems and modeling nano-structures); second, investigating special measurement methods to acquire and process time, image, and spectroscopic signals via nuclear magnetic and nuclear quadrupole resonance (NMR, NQR); third, exploiting various methods in experimental and applied electrical engineering and electronics to detect short high-power electromagnetic pulses (up to 10 GW), monitor fast repeated and single-shot processes (in the ns region), explore techniques for measuring very low air ion concentrations, and develop non-standard power sources such as harvesters, resonant supplies, and photovoltaic devices). All of the research tasks have been designed to facilitate technical and technological applications. Specific projects are detailed under this link.

The department has traditionally addressed multiple issues in nanoelectronics, photonics, biophotonics, and state-of-the-art mathematical or numerical tools to perform electromagnetic field analysis in nanostructures and materials engineering. Generally, the diversity of research targets is also the reason why, at the DTEEE, a comprehensive approach has been preferred to narrowly oriented, group-based work.
