Prof. Brian H. Brown / 2004

The second H.P. Schwan Award was presented to Prof. Brian H Brown, during the XII ICEBI, in 2004, in Gdansk,  for his achievements over a broad spectrum of bioimpedance award-relevant activities, from theoretical developments and instrumentation design to clinical applications and industrial innovations.

By promoting bioimpedance tomography he has worked with many types of human living tissue, in particular lung and cervical tissue.

He has made Sheffield a centre of bioimpedance research world wide known. He played an important role in the European Electrical Impedance Tomography project, without loosing sight of the whole field of bioimpedance.

Emphasis has also been put on his pioneer work in impedance imaging, important technological exploitation of bioimpedance tomography and the development of the commercialized Sheffield EIT Systems.
