Teachings
Dr. Fang teaches undergraduate and graduate courses in both Bioengineering and Electrical Engineering & Computer Engineering departments at Northeastern University.
BIOE 5235: Biomedical Imaging
Fall
Sample syllabus
Presents the foundations of modern medical imaging, including imaging principles, imaging mathematics, imaging physics, and image-generation techniques. Includes X-ray, ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging.
BIOE 5810: Design of Biomedical Instrumentation
Fall, Spring
Sample syllabus
Investigates the principles of biology and engineering underlying the design and use of biomedical instrumentation. Topics include design of a broad range of instrumentation and monitoring devices, sensors, and integrated systems.
BIOE 3210: Bioelectricity
Fall
Sample syllabus
Teaches basic circuit theories and analysis techniques - the Ohm's law, KCL, KVL, node-voltage, mesh-current, opamps, RC, RL, AC networks, amplifiers and filters - through a mixture of lectures, hands-on labs and computer simulations.
EECE 5648: Biomedical Optics
Spring (Sharing lectures with Profs. Mark Niedre, Bryan Spring and Charles Dimarzio)
Sample syllabus
Covers biomedical optics and discusses the theory and practice of biological and medical applications of lasers. Topics covered include fundamentals of light propagation in biological tissues, light-matter interactions such as elastic and inelastic scattering; fluorescence and phosphorescence; diagnostic imaging techniques such as confocal fluorescence microscopy, diffuse optical tomography, and optical coherence tomography; and therapeutic interventional techniques, including photodynamic therapy, laser thermal therapies, and fluorescence-guided surgeries.
