- Course Content
This course involves the study the dosimetry or assessment of electromagnetic fields,
interaction of radiation with humans, and absorption in the human body in the context of
non-ionising field exposure. On the one hand, concepts about interaction with the
human body are taught and on the other hand, state-of-the-art experimental and
numerical dosimetry will be taught to the student. This will enable the student to acquire
the skills and knowledge to judge current and future technologies and systems about
their radiation exposure and to propose the required measures to reduce the exposure,
and to design systems accounting minimal human exposure.
