The young scientist at the Thuringian Innovation Center Mobility (ThIMo), M.Sc. Lisa-Marie Schilling, has been awarded at this year's international conference on biological effects of electromagnetic fields (BioEM 2021) for the presentation of her student poster contribution.
Her research on "Influence of the 4G/5G dynamic spectrum sharing on human RF exposure to mobile radio services" deals with the impact of the introduction of new mobile radio standards on human electromagnetic radiation exposure and thus touches on a research topic that is as relevant as it is sensitive.
BioEM is the largest international conference in the field of bioelectromagnetic research and provides a platform for the global exchange of active scientists in this field. BioEM 2021 took place from 26 September to 01 October in Ghent, Belgium, and featured plenary lectures by world-renowned scientists, a variety of sessions, workshops and tutorials addressing the most pressing issues on medical applications and health related to electromagnetic fields. In another focus of the conference, students from around the world will present their work in a competition. Lisa-Marie Schilling achieved the outstanding second place of the best young researcher contributions.
Lisa-Marie Schilling has been a research assistant in the team of radiation protection expert Dr.-Ing. Christian Bornkessel since 2019 and is a doctoral student in the Group of High Frequency and Microwave Technology at TU Ilmenau under the supervision of Prof. Dr. rer. nat. habil. Matthias Hein. Within the scope of her work, which is located in the ThIMo core competence "Radio and Information Technology", she is researching aspects of electromagnetic environmental compatibility and radiation protection in relation to current and future mobile phone generations as well as radio technologies of connected driving under the title "Characterization of electromagnetic fields with regard to immission protection in road traffic". Previously, she successfully completed her bachelor's and master's degree in engineering informatics at the TU Ilmenau with a focus on high frequency and microwave technology.
