Dr. Yang organized 2024 BU annual Photonics Center Symposium “Lightening the Brain”. It features six invited speakers from BU, MGH, Yale, HHMI Janelia and Hôpital Ophtalmique Jules-Gonin. Our group members Dr. Yueming Li, Guo Chen and Zhiyi Du also presented 3 student talks out of 4 total. A successful event ! More details see here
We are excited to share that our first patent at BU on photoacoustic neural stimulation has been issued on Jun 23, 2023. This was made possible by our talented research team including Ying Jiang, Lu Lan, Yimin Huang, Nan Zheng and Yueming Li.
We congratulate our newest Ph.D. graduate Dr. Ran Cheng for successfully defending her thesis “Developing high-speed surface-enhanced Raman bioimaging platforms”.
Nan has successfully defended his Ph.D thesis in MSE. His thesis title is multifunctional photoacoustic materials for neural engineering. With an impressive publication list, this is an outstanding thesis work. We are so excited for you, Dr. Zheng! Nan will take a position in Applied Material, one of the world leading material engineering companies.
We are excited that Vikrant Sharma, a ECE senior working in the lab in 2023 academic year, has been awarded for ECE Undergraduate Outstanding Research Award! His senior thesis is “Artificial Hearts: Photoacoustic-mediated heart organoid deveolpment for cardiovascular disease modeling”. Way to go, Vikrant! We congratulate Mark Cherepashensky for his successful defense of his MS […]
