Ultrasound is the most commonly used imaging modality in clinics because it is inexpensive, portable, and provides good spatial resolution with substantial penetration depth. Still, ultrasound exams often need improved contrast, and standard approaches are largely qualitative, with image quality and interpretation strongly influenced by the operator. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS), in contrast,...

In this talk, the current state of microwave (MW) medical technologies will be discussed, spanning from the diverse motivations to basic foundational physics to example applications. MW medical technologies have promising potential for varied applications including health monitoring, detection and diagnosis of disease, and treatment tracking. These technologies are non-invasive and...

Field-effect transistors (FETs) can be repurposed from electronic components into bio/chemical sensors by exploiting the sensitivity of conductive nanomaterials to their molecular environment. Graphene is particularly well suited for the fabrication of field-effect biosensors (bioFETs) [1], owing to its chemical stability in aqueous media and its amenability to functionalization with...
