Electromagnetic Innovations to Save Human Lives

Electromagnetic Innovations to Save Human Lives

Join Dartmouth Engineering professor Fridon Shubitidze and hear about recent outcomes in electromagnetic sensing (EMS) research. For over two decades Shubitidze and the EMS research group have been focused on real-world geophysical and medical applications to help save people's lives.

Professor Shubitidze will showcase how two technologies, developed and built at Dartmouth, are remotely detecting and identifying dangerous subsurface unexploded ordnances, landmines, and improvised explosive devices; and how magnetic nano-particle (MNP) hyperthermia targets cancerous tumor cells.

Fridon Shubitidze, Ph.D.

Professor Fridon Shubitidze joined Dartmouth Engineering's faculty in 2007. His research is focused on computational electromagnetics, genome sequencing, magnetic nanoparticles for cancer treatment, and unexploded ordnance detection and discrimination.

Shubitidze, a native of the Republic of Georgia, was awarded with the Medal of Honor by the country's President in 2019 for "his personal contribution in the development of science and in the creation of modern technologies." The award recognizes members of the Georgian diaspora for tehri work to advance human rights, democracy, sciences, or noble deeds.

Shubitidze is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) and earned his MS in radiophysics and his PhD in physical and mathematical sciences from Tbilisi State University in Georgia.
