About
Per Michael Johansen is a leading researcher in biomedical engineering, with a primary focus on radio frequency (RF) tracking for minimally invasive medicine and the electromagnetic characterization of biological tissues. His most significant contribution lies in challenging the conventional assumption that the human body behaves as a homogeneous propagation medium for RF signals. Through meticulous *in vivo* and *in situ* experiments, Johansen pioneered the measurement and modeling of the effective complex permittivity of intra-body environments, as detailed in his highly cited 2015 work (9 citations). This research provides a critical, realistic framework for improving the localization and control of medical micro-robots, enabling more precise and safer navigation during procedures. By quantifying how tissues actually distort RF signals, his work has laid the groundwork for next-generation wireless medical devices, directly impacting the fields of targeted drug delivery and diagnostic imaging. Johansen’s achievements underscore a commitment to bridging theoretical models with clinical reality, establishing him as a key innovator in the intersection of electromagnetics and healthcare technology.
