About

Dr. Jonathan Mamou graduated in 2000 from the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Télécommunications in Paris France. In January 2001 he began his graduate studies in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign Urbana IL. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in May 2002 and 2005 respectively. He previously was the Associate Research Director of the F. L. Lizzi Center for Biomedical Engineering at Riverside Research in New York NY. He currently holds a faculty position in the Department of Radiology of Weill Cornell Medicine in New York NY. Dr. Mamou also is an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering of New York University. His fields of interest include theoretical aspects of ultrasound scattering ultrasonic medical imaging quantitative acoustic microscopy ultrasound contrast agents and biomedical image processing. Dr. Mamou is a Fellow of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) a Seniormember of IEEE and a member of the Acoustical Society of America. He is coeditor of the book Quantitative Ultrasound in Soft Tissues published by Springer in 2013. In 2022 he was inducted into the Council of Distinguished Investigators of the Academy for Radiology & Biomedical Imaging. He served as the Chair of the AIUM High-Frequency Clinical and Preclinical Imaging Community of Practice. He is an Associate Editor of Ultrasonic Imaging and the IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control and a reviewer for numerous journals. Michael L. Oelze was born in Hamilton New Zealand in 1971. He received the B.S. degree in physics and mathematics from Harding University Searcy AR USA in 1994 and the Ph.D. degree in physics from the University of Mississippi Oxford MS USA. From 2000 to 2002 he was a Post-Doctoral Researcher with the Bioacoustics Research Laboratory Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (UIUC) Urbana IL USA. From 2002 to 2004 he was an NIH Fellow conducting research in quantitative ultrasound techniques for biomedical ultrasound applications in cancer detection. He is currently a Professor and the Associate Head for Graduate Affairs in ECE at UIUC the Frederick and Elizabeth Nearing Scholar in the Grainger College of Engineering and a Health Innovator Professor in the Carle Illinois College of Medicine. His research interests include biomedical ultrasound quantitative ultrasound imaging for improving cancer diagnostics and monitoring therapy response ultrasound bioeffects ultrasound tomography techniques ultrasound-based therapy beamforming and ultrasound-based medical implants. Dr. Oelze is currently a Fellow of the AIUM and a member of ASA. He is a member of the Technical Program Committee of the IEEE Ultrasonics Symposium. He currently serves as an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control for Ultrasonic Imaging and for IEEE Transactions on Biomedical Engineering.
