Career History; Contact Information; Education; Journal Review; Research Interests; Publications
Before joining the ME faculty, Dr. Xinmai Yang was a postdoctoral research associate in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. His current research area is biomedical imaging, focusing on a novel imaging modality-photoacoustic imaging. He is planning to extend his research in this area in the future and push the application in both animal research and clinic applications. Dr. Yang received his Ph.D in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University and worked at National Center for Physical Acoustics in the area of biomedical ultrasound. Dr. Yang also holds an undergraduate degree in Engineering Mechanics and a Master’s degree in Solid Mechanics from Xi’an Jiaotong University, Xi’an, People’s Republic of China.
