(11 May 2023) There is some more information on electromagnetic waves (Chapter 1), interference (Chapter 7), and diffraction (Chapter 8) in the notes for my optics course, https://www.ece.neu.edu/courses/eece4646/dimarzio/ . This is intended for a senior or graduate course and is pretty advanced, so I don't recommend it for everyone. Also, it's specific to optics. However, I thought I'd include it if you are interested. Don't hesitate to ask questions.
(5 May 2023) Most of us will start travel tomorrow. If you do have any problems with flights, please text me so I can update our drivers. We will track the key flights so we should know their actual arrival times. We wish everyone a good trip.
(29 April 2023) I'm starting to post some of the material I'll use in class. See the files above with labels Slides n. I'm putting some of the titles up before I actually post the material, so some links may not work. In any case, I may make some changes before we start the lectures. Eric and I will see many of you at the airport a week from today. It would be a good idea to check the actual flight times as there may have been small changes since you bought your tickets.
(14 Mar 2023) Predeparture meeting 1 will be in 302 Stearns, Wednesday, 15 March, at 6:00pm. I expect it to last about an hour.
(16 Feb 2023) Welcome to the Biomedical Imaging in Chile website. From
now through the end of the program, I'll post announcements,
assignments, and other useful information here. For starters, I've
copied some links from last year's course, which I will update.

ABOUT THE BACKGROUND: My favorite winter passtime is skiing. I put this background together from a detail of a photograph taken at Park City, in 2003. There are four copies in different orientations so that the tracks (and more importantly, the brightness levels) line up as the pattern repeats.
