- Raquel Conceição (FC.ID/CIÊNCIAS) co-chaired with Lorenzo Crocco the workshop of European Association on Antennas and Propagation (EurAAP)’s Working Group “ELSA – Electromagnetic Technologies for Life Science Applications”
- Raquel Conceição (FC.ID/CIÊNCIAS) chaired the convened session “Biomedical Microwave Techniques and Devices: from Diagnosis to Treatment“, organised by Raquel Conceição and Jorge Tobón-Vasquez from POLITO
- Daniela Godinho (FC.ID/CIÊNCIAS) presented her paper “Preliminary Analysis of Breast Microwave Images of Cancer Patients“, which awarded her a J. Imaging Travel Award
- Henrique Lopes (FC.ID/CIÊNCIAS) presented his paper “Repeatability Assessment in Medical Microwave Imaging: A Systematic Review Protocol“
- Amra Mehboob (GALWAY) presented her paper “Matching Medium for Microwave Bone Imaging Systems: Evaluating Transmission Line and Quarter-Wavelength Approaches for Broadband Operation“
- Daniela Godinho (FC.ID/CIÊNCIAS) chaired the convened session “Characterisation of biological tissues and tissue mimicking materials for electromagnetic medical applications” with Julian Bonello from the University of Malta
- Martina Gugliermino (POLITO) presented her paper “Ad-Hoc Double-Extended-Bitten Ridge Waveguide for Broadband Dielectric Characterization of Lossy Dispersive Solid and Semi-Solid Materials“
- Atif Shahzad presented the work developed with Bilal Amin (GALWAY) and Adnan Elahi (GALWAY) “Development and Characterisation of Brain Tissue Mimicking Phantoms for Microwave-Based Medical Applications“
