Introduction
Engineering research often combines theoretical modeling, experimental measurement, and data processing to solve practical problems. In electromagnetic characterization, accurate estimates of relative permittivity and dielectric constant can support the study and evaluation of materials. In biomedical engineering, digitizing historical ECG records can make waveform information more accessible for analysis and future machine-learning workflows. The supplied publications connect these broad research directions through measurement methods and computationally supported applications. [3]
Research Profile
The profile information supplied for El Hajj lists 168 documents, 1,511 citations, and an h-index of 21. These bibliometric indicators describe publication and citation activity as reported in the provided data; they can vary as indexing services update their records. The Scopus author profile is the primary destination for checking the current indexed record, while the ORCID profile provides a persistent researcher identifier. [1]
Research Contributions
The selected engineering publications focus on approaches for estimating dielectric properties from reflected signals and near-field antenna measurements. Such methods are relevant to material evaluation where reliable characterization is needed. A separate publication on paper-based ECG digitization addresses the conversion of printed clinical waveforms into digital information, potentially enabling subsequent computational processing. These descriptions summarize the stated topics and do not imply that every method is universally applicable without validation.
