Abstract
I am committed to creating safe and high performance noninvasive surgical devices and the 2011 Hunt Fellowship supported me at a critical point on my path toward this goal. Noninvasive surgery refers to the local modulation of tissue deep in the body without surgical incisions. This technology has the potential to treat devastating diseases, such as Alzheimer’s disease cancers, and stroke. I entered research in this field as an undergraduate at the University of Michigan building multi-element therapeutic arrays under Prof. Charles Cain. I then developed technologies that could deliver drugs to the brain at Columbia University during my doctoral research under Prof. Elisa Konofagou. At this stage, I noticed a severe gap in capability. Although we could spatially control where an ultrasound beam is placed, we had poor control of the safety and performance within it. The 2011 Hunt Fellowship supported me on the development of passive acoustic mapping technologies—a unique technology that allowed for the res...
