Alexandru M. Morega is professor of electrical engineering at the University Politehnica of Bucharest, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Bioengineering and Biotechnology, the Faculty of Medical Engineering. He received the Dipl. Eng. (1980), and the Doctoral (1987) degrees in EE from the same university, and the Ph.D. degree in ME (1993) from Duke University of Durham, North Carolina, USA. Alexandru Morega is founding member of the Laboratory for Electrical Engineering in Medicine (1998), at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, and of the Department of Bioengineering and Biotechnology (2002) and the Faculty of Medical Engineering (2010), at the University Politehnica of Bucharest. Mihaela Morega Professor of Electrical Engineering, Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Department of Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology, University Politehnica, Bucharest, Romania. Mihaela Morega is professor of electrical engineering, with teaching and research responsibilities in applied electromagnetics, at University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, Romania, the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Biotechnology. She received the Dipl. Eng. and Doctoral degrees in EE, from the same university in 1980 and 1988, respectively. Her research interests and specializations include computer aided modelling of electrophysiological phenomena, characterization of the electromagnetic environment, interactions of electromagnetic field with the living matter for applications in biomedical engineering, numerical dosimetry and the study of specific processes in the electro-thermal and electro-mechanical energy conversion. She is currently engaged in promoting bioelectromagnetics as an educational and research topic in electrical engineering. Alin Dobre Lecturer, Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University Politehnica of Bucharest, Romania. Alin A. Dobre is lecturer at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, University POLITEHNICA of Bucharest, Romania, since 2015. He was one of the research team members of the International Center of Biodynamics, Bucharest, between 2012 and 2015. He received his BSc and PhD from the Faculty of Electrical Engineering in 2009 and 2012, respectively, and his MSc from the Faculty of Medical Engineering in 2011, all from the same university. Medical image-based reconstruction of computational domains, numerical modelling and simulation of medical procedures, biosignal acquisition and processing, electrical machines and drives and computer networks are his main teaching and research interests. He was an IEEE and IEEE-EMBS student member from 2009 to 2012 and he is an IEEE and IEEE-EMBS member since 2015.
