The Division of International Bioelectrics is active in running and coordinating the International Bioelectrics Consortium, performing international cooperation through international research, and conducting several bioelectrics and pulsed power research projects. The aim of the Division is to maintain the University’s world-class advanced research in pulsed power science by promoting and playing a central role in international collaboration between leading institutions of the Consortium in the emerging new academic field of bioelectrics. The Division organizes international teleconferences and annual / bi-annual international workshops of the Consortium through which students, researchers, and staff members interact with overseas colleagues.
