Research Interests
1. Optical and Acoustic Imaging Systems
Photoacoustic Imaging · Ultrasound Imaging · Optical Imaging · Sensing & Metrology
We develop advanced optical and acoustic imaging technologies based on fundamental physics, engineering, and computation. Our research focuses on creating innovative sensing, imaging, and metrology platforms capable of extracting hidden information across multiple spatial scales, from cells and tissues to complex biological, industrial, and physical systems.
Students actively engage in hardware development, system integration, software programming, and computational image reconstruction. Applications range from healthcare to semiconductor metrology, non-destructive testing (NDT), and security technologies.
2. Acoustic Sensing, Modulation, and Theranostic Systems
Ultrasound Imaging · Ultrasound Modulation · Sonogenetics · Drug Delivery
Our lab explores acoustic technologies for both sensing and modulation of complex systems. We investigate ultrasound-mediated imaging, mechanobiological regulation, sonogenetics, targeted drug delivery, and real-time monitoring of dynamic processes. By integrating acoustics, engineering, and life sciences, we develop next-generation theranostic and modulation platforms that enable precise interaction with biological systems. Beyond healthcare applications, our acoustic technologies can be extended to industrial sensing and non-destructive evaluation.
3. Intelligent Imaging and Data Analytics
Artificial Intelligence · Computational Imaging · Digital Pathology · Machine Learning
We develop artificial intelligence and computational methods for image reconstruction, signal processing, and automated data interpretation. Our research includes virtual histology, digital pathology, intelligent classification, AI-enhanced imaging, and multimodal data analytics. By combining machine learning with advanced optical and acoustic sensing platforms, we aim to build intelligent systems capable of discovering meaningful information from complex biomedical, industrial, and security datasets.
