November 1, 2016
Congratulations to Dr. Himanshu Shekhar (University of Cincinnati), Dr. Steven Huntzicker (Matrix Research), Racquel (Ivy) Awuor, and Prof. Marvin Doyley on the publication of their manuscript titled "Chirp-coded ultraharmonic imaging with a modified clinical intravascular ultrasound system." The article appears in the November 2016 issue of Ultrasonic Imaging. Dr. Shekhar and Dr. Huntzicker both received their Ph.D. degrees at the University of Rochester; Prof. Doyley served as their supervisor. Ivy Awuor is a graduate student at the University of Rochester and served as an undergraduate researcher in Prof. Doyley's lab.

Congratulations to Hexuan (April) Wang who successfully defended her M.S. thesis on August 9, 2016. April, advised by Prof. Doyley, presented her thesis titled "Visualizing Total Tissue Stress in Pancreatic Cancer Microenvironment." Professors Kevin Parker (Electrical & Computer Engineering) and Stephen McAleavey (Biomedical Engineering) served as thesis committee members. Again, congratulations to April and many thanks for her contributions to Prof. Doyley's Parametric Imaging Research Lab.

August 1, 2016
Prof. Marvin Doyley is a co-investigator on an interdisciplinary project recently awarded with NIH R21 funding. Prof. Stephen McAleavey, associate professor of Biomedical Engineering, serves as the project's principal investigator. The goal of the project, titled "Quantification of Shear Wave Strain Dependence in Breast Tissues," is to improve the power of ultrasound imaging to predict if a breast lesion is benign or malignant by using a novel, high-resolution technique to noninvasively map the nonlinear mechanical properties of breast tissue. Other co-investigators on the project are Dr. Linda Schiffhauer (Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine) and Dr. Avice O'Connell (Department of Imaging Sciences).

May 23, 2016
The University of Rochester recently announced the 8 recipients of its University Research Awards (URA). Prof. Doyley is an investigator on two of the projects. University Research Award applications are sought from faculty across the University, and funding is awarded to recipients who demonstrate their projects favor new research with a high probability of being leveraged by future external funding. A review committee of faculty from across the University provides peer review of the applications. Prof. Doyley will be collaborating on the following URA-awarded projects:

May 5, 2016
Congratulations to Rohit Nayak (Ph.D. candidate supervised by Prof. Doyley) for receiving the 1st Place award for the poster titled "Visualizing principal strains of carotid artery using plane wave imaging", presented at the University of Rochester Center for Integrated Research Computing (CIRC) Poster Session held on May 4, 2016. In addition to Prof. Doyley, Rohit's co-authors included Prashant Verma and Rifat Ahmed (also Ph.D. candidates in Prof. Doyley's lab), Nancy Carson and Vikram Dogra (Imaging Sciences), Meera Singh and Sanjay Maggirwar (Microbiology and Immunology), and Giovanni Schifitto (Neurology). The research results presented at the CIRC session feature computations performed on BlueHive and/or Blue Gene/Q, and Rohit's 1st place poster was recognized for its presentation, use of computational techniques/technology, and discussion/interaction with panel judges. The poster described the promising results from an ongoing NIH-supported HIV/vascular aging project. Congratulations to Rohit and his co-authors on a job well done!
