Description
The research in my lab is focused on design and development of novel diagnostic and therapeutic methodologies, algorithms, and instrumentations for various types of biomedical applications such as diagnosis and treatment of cancer and other pathologies at their early stages of development. In other words, our overall mission is to design, develop, test, re-design, and validate devices, methods and algorithms for diagnostic imaging and therapeutic applications. The projects in our laboratory are ranging from molecular imaging to functional imaging and tissue differentiation, from drug delivery and release to image-guided surgery and intervention.
In this project, our ultimate goal is implementing and integrating Ultrasound and Photoacoustic procedures on a fully digital ultrasound scanner (programmable in MATLAB). Undergraduate student assistant will work with a team of two PhD students and help in both hardware and software implementation of the system as well as tests and validations.
