About
Andrew Wood is a leading researcher in bioelectromagnetics, with a primary focus on the interactions between electromagnetic fields and biological tissues. His work has been instrumental in understanding how common medical and communication devices affect the human body, particularly in the context of safety and health. One of his key contributions is the investigation of how EEG electrode caps can alter the specific absorption rate (SAR) induced in the head by mobile phones, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2007 paper. This study, which has garnered 24 citations, used precise robotic measurements in anthropomorphic phantoms to show that the presence of electrode caps can significantly change SAR distribution, a critical finding for both clinical neurology and mobile phone safety standards. Wood’s research bridges engineering, medicine, and public health, offering practical insights for device design and regulatory guidelines. His work continues to shape the safe integration of wireless technology into healthcare and daily life.
