RESEARCH VISION

Our group's overall aim is to serve as a trailblazer in the engineering science of biomedical ultrasound. In particular, it is our intent to: (1) help develop new and better ways of using ultrasound as a diagnostic and therapeutic tool in biomedicine, and (2) investigate the science behind various ultrasound-induced wave-matter interactions. A major focus of our group is to work closely with clinicians and the industry to identify and solve important research problems in the field. We also strive to train the next generation of ultrasound system engineers and biophysicists.
