The goal is to develop analytical and computational methods for the simulation of scattering of terahertz (THz) beams by sample geometries. Use of THz spectroscopy and imaging is currently being explored for use in numerous applications, such as defect-detection in materials and medical imaging for cancer diagnosis, for which an accurate understanding of the scattering … [More Info]
