Costas D. Arvanitis is an Associate Professor at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. He joined the faculty in August 2016 after serving as an Instructor at Harvard Medical School Brigham Women's Hospital. His research expertise lies in biomedical ultrasound image-guided therapy, focusing on understanding the biological effects of ultrasound and acoustically induced microbubble oscillations. He studies complex biological systems, particularly the neurovascular network and tumor microenvironment, to develop novel therapies for treating cancer and central nervous system diseases. His current research efforts involve investigating ultrasound interactions with various cell types, exploring ultrasound-mediated transport of pharmaceuticals across cellular and vascular barriers, and analyzing microbubble dynamics in tissues. Through his work, he aims to engineer multi-modality and multi-scale systems, integrating numerical models with in vivo and in vitro experimentation to enhance the understanding of biological systems, ultimately leading to new concepts and methods for treating diseases.
