RESEARCH TECHNIQUES Theoretical modeling and mathematical analysis. RESEARCH SUMMARY (1) Biologically Inspired Polarization-Difference Imaging: Study of polarization-difference imaging methodology inspired by hypotheses about polarization sensitivity of the visual systems of certain animal species. (In collaboration with Prof. E. N. Pugh, Jr.) (2) Fractional Operators, Fractional Calculus and Fractional Paradigm in Electromagnetic Theory: Theoretical exploration of potential roles, physical implications and mathematical applications of the fractional differintegration and other fractional operators in electromagnetic theory. (3) Electromagnetic Wave Interaction with Unconventional Complex Media: Theoretical investigation of fundamental and applied properties of electromagnetic wave interaction with unconventional complex media such as wire media, feedforward-feedbackward (FFFB) media, omega media, chiral media, bianisotropic media and related materials, and their applications to devices and components. (4) Electromagnetic aspects and modeling of event-related brain cortical potentials (in collaboration with Prof. E. N. Pugh, Jr.)
