Two Oral Presentations at SPIE Nanoscience + Engineering

by

Two abstracts from TRUE lab have been selected for oral presentations at the 2016 SPIE Nanoscience + Engineering conference at San Diego, California.

pRATIKPratik Samant’s oral presentation is titled as “Photoacoustic tomography of unlabelled red blood cell at the nanoscale”. He will present his research at the upcoming “Nanoimaging and Nanospectroscopy IV” conference on 28 August 2016.

Dr. Jian Chen will also give an oral presentation on “Label free nanoscale photoacoustic tomography”.

Three abstracts from TRUE lab have been selected for oral presentations and one as a poster presentation at the 2016 AAPM Annual Meeting at Washington, DC this year.

Shanshan Tang2chen225ahmadfinalDr. Shanshan Tang’s oral presentation is titled as “Next Generation Dedicated 3D Breast Imaging with XACT”.  It is a collaborative effort between Drs. Yong Chen and Salahuddin Ahmad’s group at OUHSC and our group. Their simulation work leads into another poster presentation titled  “3D Breast Digital Phantom for XACT Imaging”.

Dr. Liangzhong Xiang will also give an oral presentation on “High Resolution X-Ray-Induced Acoustic Computed Tomography”. This is a collaborative effort between Dr. Lei Xing’s group at Stanford Medical School and the TRUE lab at OU.

Congratulations to all for the accomplishment!

OU Undergraduate Research Symposium

by

Grace Bouziden and Redouane Laaroussi, our undergraduate students, presented their research at the OU Undergraduate Research Symposium on April 2nd.  Grace’s presentation title is “Finite Element Modeling of Cell Temperature during nanoscale Photoacoustic Tomography “. And Red was presenting XACT for breast imaging. Congrats to Grace and Red for the great job!

The Undergraduate Research Symposium at OU provides undergraduate students with the opportunity to present their research done in all fields as a poster presentation.

Pratik Samant Presented on BME Graduate Student Seminar

by

IMG_1430Pratik Samant, our graduate student, presented his research on the BME Graduate Student Seminar on April 1st. He was talking about his research on nanoscale photoacoustic tomography. Congrats to Pratik for his great job!

Traditionally, BME graduate students are asked to make a presentation on their research. BME Faculty, staff and students are encouraged to attend the seminar and to provide feedback and suggestions regarding research content as well as presentation style. The audience will be given time to ask questions and voice comments and also to fill out a provided evaluation form. This seminar series is a chance for students to refine presentation skills and to address critical questions that may be raised by audience members.

Shanshan Tang (PhD), Postdoc research fellow, wins Trainee Research Prize from RSNA

by

pictures3Congratulations to Shanshan for being awarded the Trainee Research Prize at RSNA 101ST Scientific Assembly and Annual Meeting in Chicago on Dec 4th, 2015. Her winning abstract is entitled “XACT: A new imaging modality based on ultrasonic detection of X-ray absorption”. The award, presented to the author of the best paper submitted for oral scientific presentation in a specific subcategory, is the highest honour for a physics trainee at the RSNA annual meeting.

RSNA 2015 celebrates RSNA’s 100 years at the forefront of the radiology acdemia and industry—bringing together about 60,000 specialty’s professionals in Chicago. The Trainee Research Prize consists of $1000 and a certificate indicating the name of the trainee and the title of the paper or poster, both of which are given to the individual trainee.

Pratik Samant’s GRG proposal has been accepted

by

pRATIKPratik, our graduate student, recently came up with a proposal for an undergraduate research project to act as a graduate research guide. We are happy to announce that the proposal was accepted, and Pratik will be a GRG next year, which comes with some funding. He will work with Prof. Xiang to add a research experience to the course ECE 2713 Digital Signals and Filtering. Congrats Pratik!

The Graduate Research Guide (GRG) pilot program aims to increase the opportunities for students to engage in course-based research. The purpose of the GRG is to allow a faculty member to design and implement more impactful research and creative projects than they might otherwise be able to do within a semester course.
