Description of research activities:

Principal interest related to Bioengineering is on the physics and mechanics of ultrasonic wave propagation with applications in transducer design, signal processing, pattern recognition, and material characterization. Applications in such areas as aircraft inspection, piping evaluation, manufacturing, pharmaceutical tablet material characterization, and ultrasonics in the food industry are being considered in Bioengineering for tissue and bone characterization, improved imaging, and novel transducer design for acquiring rich and complete physically based data sets for improved material classification. A fully equipped ultrasonic lab with excellent computational power and a series of pulser receiver units and displays is available.
