About
Arno Rehn is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of terahertz (THz) technology and heritage science, with a primary focus on non-invasive imaging and subsurface analysis. His most notable contribution is the application of a robotic THz imaging system to investigate ancient human remains, as demonstrated in his highly cited 2019 study (75 citations). In this work, Rehn and his team successfully analyzed the subsurface structure of an artificially mummified ancient Egyptian left hand, comparing their results with conventional CT and micro-CT scans. This breakthrough demonstrated that robotic THz systems can reveal new insights into preserved biological tissues without damaging them, offering a powerful complement to traditional radiographic methods. Rehn’s work is particularly impactful for archaeologists, conservators, and biomedical engineers, as it opens up non-destructive pathways for studying mummified remains and other delicate artifacts. By bridging engineering, physics, and archaeology, Rehn has established himself as a key figure in the emerging field of THz heritage diagnostics, with his research setting a benchmark for future robotic imaging applications in cultural heritage and forensic science.
