Biography

Jad graduated from Vanderbilt University with a major in Biomedical Engineering and a minor in Computer Science. As an undergraduate, Jad worked in the Caskey Lab on time reversal simulations to correct for aberrations in transcranial focused ultrasound. This was through the SyBBURE undergrad research program, a truly special space that fostered creativity and excitement for science. Jad joined UEIL as a MS/PhD student in the fall of 2018. His research focuses on improving the robustness, diagnostic potential, and clinical utility of Myocardial Elastography. Outside of the lab, Jad is an avid rock climber and skier/snowboarder.
