Joining our Lab

We are recruiting 3 PhD students now (see below) and will be recruiting 3 post-doctoral researchers soon. The post-doctoral positions will be for a lipid chemist, microfluidics expert, and a transducer/circuit engineer. We will advertise the post-doctoral roles in January 2025.

The Laboratory

We are equipped to run experiments at multiple levels:

• Physics

• Phantoms (eg, hydrogels, capillary microchannels)

• In vitro (eg, cell cultures, ex vivo brain slices, ex vivo human skulls)

• In vivo

We design and manufacture our own ultrasound emitters and receivers. We create our microbubbles in-house. Some of the equipment we have include:

• Ultra high-speed video camera (frame rate: 20 million frames per second)

• Emitters and receivers: single-element transducers, linear imaging array, a 256-element therapeutic ultrasound array

• Multi-element array manufacturing facilities

• Microbubble manufacturing setup

• Signal generators, power amplifiers, filters, scopes, etc.

• Optical microscopes with high frame rate cameras

• 3D printer (FormLabs 3+)

• Experimental water tanks

• Basic life sciences equipment

Department Facilities

We also have access to all shared Department facilities including:

• Histology Room

• Tissue Culture Room

• Microscopy Suite (including confocal microscopy)

• Electronics Workshop

• Machine Workshop and 3D Printing Facilities

• IVIS systems

Collaborators’ Facilities

• 2-photon microscopes (for in vitro and in vivo use)

• Verasonics imaging engines (2 systems)

• Nanoindentation systems

• In vitro brain slice models

• 9Tesla MRI scanners
