Biography
Aparna received her Ph.D in biomedical engineering from Vanderbilt University in May of 2022. Her Ph.D work focused on using brain power Doppler images to guide blood brain barrier opening via microbubble enhanced focused ultrasound in small animal model. She also worked on using microbubble enhanced functional ultrasound imaging to detect blood flow changes in response to external stimulation in rodent model. Aparna joined Ultrasound and Elasticity Imaging Laboratory in June of 2022. Her research interests include functional ultrasound imaging and focused ultrasound mediated neuromodulation.
