Biography

Alireza was born in Rafsanjan, Iran. He received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from Kerman Azad University, Iran and his M.S. degree in Biomedical Engineering from Chalmers University of Technology, Gothenburg, Sweden. He started to work on his Master's thesis in the Mayo Clinic Ultrasound lab in 2010 and continued to work in the same lab on his Ph.D. thesis. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Minnesota in 2016. His doctoral work focused on exploring the viscoelastic properties of tissue in very low frequency ranges, less than 1 Hz, for noninvasive differentiation of benign and malignant tumors using ultrafast ultrasound techniques.
