Autorenporträt

Yufeng Zhou is an assistant professor at the School of Mechanical & Aerospace Engineering at Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. He earned his BS and MS in electrical science and engineering from Nanjing University, China, in 1996 and 1999, respectively, and a PhD in mechanical engineering from Duke University, Durham, North Carolina, in 2003. Dr. Zhou's research interests are focused on biomedical ultrasound, including ultrasound diagnosis (i.e., elastography) and therapy (i.e., shock wave lithotripsy to break calculus, high-intensity focused ultrasound for cancer ablation, ultrasound-mediated drug/gene delivery). He is a senior member of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers and an advisory editorial board member of the journal Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology.
