Our December webinar featured Timothy L. Hall from the University of Michigan presenting:
"3D Printing for Custom Therapeutic Ultrasound Transducers and Beyond"
This session was moderated by Professor Shima Shahab from Virginia Tech and the Multiphysics Intelligent and Dynamical Systems (MInDS) Laboratory.
About the Professors
Timothy L. Hall is a Research Scientist with the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. He specializes in the design and fabrication of instrumentation for medical ultrasound and promoting translational research in applications for histotripsy. He is a co-founder and consultant for Histosonics Inc, maker of robotic systems for image guided histotripsy cancer ablation.
Shima Shahab is currently an Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Virginia Tech and the director of the Multiphysics Intelligent and Dynamical Systems (MInDS) Laboratory. She completed her M.S and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology, in 2013 and 2015, respectively. The theoretical and experimental research programs at MInDS focus on structural dynamics and wave propagation in ultrasound-responsive intelligent material systems. The various interdisciplinary applications include wireless ultrasound power transfer, acoustic holographic lenses, transcranial focused ultrasound, AI in ultrasound, and ultrasound-responsive polymer-based systems.
