Interests

My research focus is on diagnostic and therapeutic ultrasound using contrast agents, as well image-guided cancer therapy and neuromodulation.

Projects

My current projects include using image-guided ultrasound to increase particle delivery to breast tumors, as well as using focused ultrasound to illicit neuronal activation in brain.
