Dr. Jeremy Brown

Biography

Jeremy Brown is a Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Dalhousie University. His research focuses on the design, fabrication, and testing of ultrasonic frequency piezoelectric transducers and associated electronic hardware for medical applications. He primarily works on developing miniaturized ultrasound imaging endoscopes and therapeutic devices using in-house micro-fabrication facilities. His projects aim to create tools for minimally invasive surgical procedures, which present significant benefits over traditional open surgery methods, including improved patient outcomes, reduced blood loss, fewer complications, and shorter recovery times. Brown's group has developed high-frequency array-based forward-looking ultrasound endoscopes that provide real-time imaging depth-resolved information, particularly beneficial in guided endoscopic surgeries. They are also advancing histotripsy, a non-invasive technique for tumor ablation, through the development of small-scale surgical devices that can operate with minimal incisions.
