The Physics Ultrasonics Research Group has a broad array of research interests. Our work is in physical ultrasonics and biomedical applications of ultrasonics. Our physical ultrasonics research includes wave propagation in ordered and disordered phononic metamaterials, characterization of materials and the study of structured fluids. Our biomedical ultrasonics work includes ultrasound-induced bioeffects and safety, development and testing of tissue-mimicking phantoms.
- ULTRASOUND PHYSICS: Non-destructive testing, acoustic holography, beam profiles, acoustic cavitation, high intensity ultrasound phenomena
- BIOMEDICAL ULTRASONICS: Ultrasonic bioeffects, phantom development, tissue studies, high intensity focused ultrasound
- MULTI-PHASE & STRUCTURED MEDIA: Micellar fluids, suspensions, acoustic metamaterials, tissue-mimicking phantoms, structural composites
