Welcome

Our group focuses on understanding the mechanics of ultrasound interaction with soft materials (synthetic and biological), and leverages that understanding for developing innovative solutions in therapy and drug delivery. Our strategy is to bring concepts from different fields of applied physics such as wave physics, material mechanics, and fluid dynamics into biomedical domain for designing fundamental-driven biomedical technologies. We use variety of tools including analytical methods, computational modeling, and experiments (in vitro and in vivo) to test these technologies. Our main interest areas include developing non-invasive acoustically-controlled microrobots and devices, acoustic-responsive drug delivery systems, and understanding the influence of ultrasound driven bubbles on blood clots and cancer environments.
