Theoretical modelling of the interaction of THz with hydrated materials

太赫兹（THz）技术被用于从安全检查到生物医学成像的各种应用中。广泛采用该技术的一个关键障碍是对太赫兹辐射与水合材料之间基本相互作用的了解不足。这个项目的目的是开发新的数学和计算机模型来探索太赫兹辐射与不同材料的相互作用。这些模型旨在为太赫兹技术和应用的未来发展创造一个平台，并有望加速在生物学和蛋白质分析中的应用；制药科学、配方和医学；烧伤评估和癌症检测。

Terahertz (THz) technology is in use in diverse applications from security screening to biomedical imaging. A critical hurdle to the widespread adoption of the technology is the poor understanding of the basic interaction between THz radiation and hydrated materials. The aim of this project is to develop new mathematical and computer models for exploring the interaction of THz radiation with different materials. These models aim to create a platform for the future development of THz technology and applications, and are expected to lead to accelerated implementation for use in biology and protein analysis; pharmaceutical sciences, formulations and medicine; and burn assessment and cancer detection.
