Biography

Mitra Aliabouzar is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Radiology at the University of Michigan Medical School. He specializes in the integration of acoustics, mechanics, and material science to advance biomedical applications, particularly through the use of ultrasound. His research employs acoustic droplet vaporization (ADV), which vaporizes perfluorocarbon liquid droplets using short ultrasound pulses. Dr. Aliabouzar's laboratory focuses on understanding the fundamental physics of ADV and tailoring its use for specific applications, such as microrheology and targeted drug delivery. He utilizes ultra-high-speed microscopy, theoretical modeling, and acoustic measurements to elucidate the mechanisms involved and optimize specific applications. His qualifications include a Postdoctoral Research Fellowship in Radiology at the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from George Washington University.
