      Medical device that use electromagnetism mainly.

      In particular, I work on microwave ablation devices, that are used to destroy tumors in people that cannot have a surgery.

      An antenna is inserted into the tumor. The antenna radiates elecromagnetic energy and heat the tumor (like the microwave oven). The antenna is just as big as a needle for injection.
