Cloud Computing  

​

Cloud computing is a model for enabling convenient, on-demand network access to a shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., networks, servers, storage, applications, and services) that can be rapidly provisioned and released with minimal management effort or service provider interaction (from NIST https://www.nist.gov/programs-projects/cloud-computing).

Economics and Healthcare Management

​

The study of how individuals and societies choose to use the scarce resources that nature and previous generations have provided (from book "Principles of Economics" by Karl E. Case, Ray C. Fair and Sharon E. Oster). Healthcare management is the profession that provides leadership and direction to organizations that deliver personal health services, and to divisions, departments, units, or services within those organizations (from book "Introduction to Health Care Management" by Sharon B. Buchbinder and Nancy H. Shanks).

Medical Informatics

​

Biomedical informatics is the branch of medicine that combines biology with computer science. The purpose of all medical disciplines is to advance medical progress and to eliminate diseases. In the field of biomedical informatics, this is done by integrating biological information with medical information using computational techniques (from Preface of book "Biomedical Informatics" by Jules J. Berman).

Smart Grids & Future Electric Energy Systems

​

A Smart Grid is an electric system that has integrates two-way information flow, cyber-secure communication technologies, and computational intelligence techniques across the entire electric energy system from the generation to the consumption. The primary impact factors in the future electric systems include policies at all levels, customer efficiency needs, and intelligent computer hardware and software technologies. Additionally, environmental concerns drive the entire energy system to efficiency, conservation, and renewable sources of electricity. Now customers are more proactive and empowered to engage in energy consumption decisions. This course is designed to explore and challenge views on how the traditional grid infrastructure can be transformed into a new flexible, user friendly service providing electricity infrastructure for future generations. The course develops understanding of principles and relevant models on which today's electric power grids work and their challenging technical issues. It also considers the role of smart electric power grids in enabling evolution of future electric energy systems. Modeling, analysis, computation, sensing and basic control concepts are overviewed in the course for possible next generation SCADA in support of highly distributed operations and design. This prepares students for working on applying concepts for designing and operating more reliable, secure, and efficient electric energy systems.

 

Telemedicine Systems 

​

Advancements in information and communications technology have impact on all aspects of life and work. This course offered at undergraduate level covers a broad range of topics demonstrating how information and communications technologies are used in modern healthcare organizations to provide improved and quality healthcare services. The course provides an in-depth coverage to important factors that need to be considered for supporting healthcare services with information technology. The primary objectives are to deliver fundamental knowledge in the technology behind the systems that help medical practitioners with their work and to enable students in biomedical engineering to design and implement telemedicine systems.
