Our research

Our research is centered on physical ultrasonics.  We study the ultrasonic properties of soft matter, including mammalian soft tissue and tissue-mimicking phantoms.  We also study the physical properties of complex fluids, such as micellar fluids, using ultrasound and other mechanical waves as tool.  Development and characterization of tissue-mimicking phantoms is also part of our work.

About our research

Who we are

The Ultrasonics and Complex Fluids Research Group is led by Dr. Cecille Labuda.  Kovida Goonathilake, Utsab Acharya and Nancy Sharma are graduate students in the group.  The group is part of the Department of Physics and Astronomy and is informally affiliated with the Physical Ultrasonics Research Group at the National Center for Physical Acoustics.
