Summary Group structure Photo Activities People Contact
The BioElectronics Group is engaged in research, teaching and consulting in the broad area of biomedical engineering and in particular in the area of electromagnetic properties of and interactions with living systems, tissues and molecules. The group has an excellent research record in: biomolecular electronics, electrical and electromagnetic properties of the human body, signal processing and electrophysiology. This research is supported by internal (Monash) and external (ARC) funding. National and international collaborations are already established with a number of research institutions as well as with industry. Over twenty journal and conference publications a year are produced by the members of group. The group offers an undergraduate curriculum which is kept up to date and in line with the specific needs of biology, biotechnology and medicine.

1. Teaching
Two elective subjects in the area of biomedical engineering are offered to final year electrical engineering students: Bioelectromagnetism and Electromedical Instrumentation. In addition two subjects in the area of signal processing: Signal Processing and Digital Signal Processing which have a strong emphasis on biomedical signal processing are also offered to final year students. These subjects attract a high level of interest. An optional unit in Biomedical Engineering is offered to first and third year medical students.
