Arye Rosen is academy professor of biomedical and electrical engineering in the School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems at Drexel University in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania [1] and associate vice president at Rowan University and a member of the National Academy of Engineering.
Rosen got his B.S. degree in electrical engineering from Howard University and his M.S. degree in engineering from Johns Hopkins University. Later, he was awarded his M.Sc. in physiology from Thomas Jefferson University and his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Drexel University.
Rosen's career spent over thirty-six years with the RCA/David Sarnoff Research Center, where he was awarded the rank of Distinguished Member of Technical Staff. His work there centered on the research and development of microwave devices and circuits, microwave optical interaction and high-power semiconductor lasers. [2] For the past forty-five years he has also been engaged in medical research into the use of laser, [3] acoustic and microwave [4] energies for therapeutic medical devices.
Rosen has worked in the Division of Cardiology at Jefferson Medical College since 1969 where he also holds the title of Associate in Medicine and he holds over 60 U.S. patents in the fields of engineering and medicine.
Rosen has one son, Dr. Harel D. Rosen, a neonatologist [5] [6] and a graduate of Jefferson Medical College, whom he has collaborated with in the founding of the Medical Technology Center for Infants and Children at St. Peter's University Hospital. [7] They also collaborated on engineering a solar-powered blanket used to treat jaundice in developing nations. [8]
Biomedical engineering (BME) or medical engineering is the application of engineering principles and design concepts to medicine and biology for healthcare applications. BME is also traditionally logical sciences to advance health care treatment, including diagnosis, monitoring, and therapy. Also included under the scope of a biomedical engineer is the management of current medical equipment in hospitals while adhering to relevant industry standards. This involves procurement, routine testing, preventive maintenance, and making equipment recommendations, a role also known as a Biomedical Equipment Technician (BMET) or as a clinical engineer.
Photonics is a branch of optics that involves the application of generation, detection, and manipulation of light in the form of photons through emission, transmission, modulation, signal processing, switching, amplification, and sensing. Photonics is closely related to quantum electronics, where quantum electronics deals with the theoretical part of it while photonics deal with its engineering applications. Though covering all light's technical applications over the whole spectrum, most photonic applications are in the range of visible and near-infrared light. The term photonics developed as an outgrowth of the first practical semiconductor light emitters invented in the early 1960s and optical fibers developed in the 1970s.
Wireless power transfer is the transmission of electrical energy without wires as a physical link. In a wireless power transmission system, an electrically powered transmitter device generates a time-varying electromagnetic field that transmits power across space to a receiver device; the receiver device extracts power from the field and supplies it to an electrical load. The technology of wireless power transmission can eliminate the use of the wires and batteries, thereby increasing the mobility, convenience, and safety of an electronic device for all users. Wireless power transfer is useful to power electrical devices where interconnecting wires are inconvenient, hazardous, or are not possible.

Thermoacoustic imaging was originally proposed by Theodore Bowen in 1981 as a strategy for studying the absorption properties of human tissue using virtually any kind of electromagnetic radiation. But Alexander Graham Bell first reported the physical principle upon which thermoacoustic imaging is based a century earlier. He observed that audible sound could be created by illuminating an intermittent beam of sunlight onto a rubber sheet. Shortly after Bowen's work was published, other researchers proposed methodology for thermoacoustic imaging using microwaves. In 1994 researchers used an infrared laser to produce the first thermoacoustic images of near-infrared optical absorption in a tissue-mimicking phantom, albeit in two dimensions (2D). In 1995 other researchers formulated a general reconstruction algorithm by which 2D thermoacoustic images could be computed from their "projections," i.e. thermoacoustic computed tomography (TCT). By 1998 researchers at Indiana University Medical Center extended TCT to 3D and employed pulsed microwaves to produce the first fully three-dimensional (3D) thermoacoustic images of biologic tissue [an excised lamb kidney ]. The following year they created the first fully 3D thermoacoustic images of cancer in the human breast, again using pulsed microwaves. Since that time, thermoacoustic imaging has gained widespread popularity in research institutions worldwide. As of 2008, three companies were developing commercial thermoacoustic imaging systems – Seno Medical, Endra, Inc. and OptoSonics, Inc.

The IEEE Photonics Award is a Technical Field Award established by the IEEE Board of Directors in 2002. This award is presented for outstanding achievements in photonics, including work relating to: light-generation, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection and the optical/electro-optical componentry and instrumentation used to accomplish these functions. Also included are storage technologies utilizing photonics to read or write data and optical display technologies. It also extends from energy generation/propagation, communications, information processing, storage and display, biomedical and medical uses of light and measurement applications.
