Kapil Gangwar awarded IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Fellowship
By: Ashley Bohn
Kapil Gangwar, a Ph.D. student in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) received the 2023 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society (AP-S) Fellowship. IEEE AP-S provides fellowships to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows worldwide who are pursuing research projects in areas of interest to the A-PS, in order to facilitate each student’s career goals in these fields.
Gangwar, who is part of Professor Edwin Kan’s Group, is currently researching a near-field voxel forming microwave imaging system for dental diagnosis. The system will offer a safe, portable, cost-effective, and near real-time imaging method that will play a crucial role in analyzing dental health conditions. In addition to dental health, his research in the non-invasive detection of physiological signals such as respiratory rate, respiratory volume, and heart rate will enable patients with Alzheimer’s disease to receive diagnoses of dyspnea, COPD, and sleep apnea at a higher standard of care from home or hospital.
