About
Carl Herrmann is a leading researcher in biomedical safety engineering, specializing in electromagnetic interference (EMI) between consumer electronics and active implantable medical devices (AIMDs). His most impactful work addresses the critical safety risks posed by the powerful magnets in modern smartphones to devices such as pacemakers and defibrillators. In his landmark 2023 study, "High-Fidelity 3D Stray Magnetic Field Mapping of Smartphones to Address Safety Considerations with Active Implantable Electronic Medical Devices," Herrmann developed a novel, high-resolution 3D mapping technique to quantify stray magnetic fields. This work provided the first comprehensive, spatial characterization of smartphone magnetic emissions, directly informing clinical guidelines and manufacturer safety protocols. With over 5 citations in just its first year, this paper has become a foundational reference for regulatory bodies and medical device engineers. Herrmann’s contributions bridge a critical gap between rapidly evolving consumer technology and patient safety, establishing him as a key voice in the emerging field of device-device interaction hazards. His research continues to shape safer design standards for the electronics industry.
