Illustrated Encyclopedia of Applied and Engineering Physics, Three-Volume Set

Robert Splinter, PhD, obtained his master of science degree in applied physics from the Eindhoven University of Technology, Eindhoven, the Netherlands, and his PhD from the VU University of Amsterdam. Dr. Splinter built his career as a scientist and technology manager in biomedical engineering. His work is dedicated to resolving issues in device development, with a particular focus on medicine and biology through development of novel diagnostic techniques and treatment methods using all multidisciplinary aspects of engineering and applied physics. He cofounded several companies in biomedical engineering and worked for several established metrology and medical device companies. In addition, Dr. Splinter worked in clinical settings, prototyping, and validating devices using the full practical and theoretical knowledge of physics, engineering, electrical engineering, chemistry, and biology. He is an associate professor (Adj.) in the Department of Physics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

"Portrays a concise, definitive set of scientific terms with a nice mix of photos and illustrations. For selected examples, extensive explanations are included. I think this work will be welcomed in a variety of science and technology arenas."--Dr. Christian G. Parigger, University of Tennessee Space Institute"Lives up to its title by providing insightful illustrations and graphs that visualize the mechanisms of action described by the theoretical outlines, and how these apply to real life experiences. The encyclopedia also includes the applied engineering and physics with respect to biomedical and biological phenomena, next to the physical chemistry." --Faramarz Farahi, Professor of Physics and Optics, Center for Optoelectronics and Optical Communications, University of North Carolina – Charlotte
