My research covers various aspects of imaging and therapy with
ultrasound phased array systems. The overall goal of my work is to
develop an image-guided ultrasound phased array system for noninvasive
surgery. Under this umbrella, my students and I have worked on a number
of novel approaches involving realtime 3D imaging, noninvasive
temperature imaging, and self-focusing array systems in the presence of
strongly scattering objects.
