Role OverviewA postdoctoral position is available in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Carnegie Mellon University (Chamanzar Lab) on Ultrasound-assisted Optical Coherence Tomography design and instrumentation. The postdoc researcher will work with a large interdisciplinary team to demonstrate and translate devices to practical medical applications.
What You Will Do
Simulation and design of optical imaging systems and piezoelectric ultrasonic transducers using ray tracing and the finite element method (FEM). Implementation of the imaging system; and characterization of these systems in artificial and real tissue.
Why It Might Be a Fit
Adaptability, excellence, and passion are vital qualities within Carnegie Mellon University. We are looking for someone who shares our values and who will support the mission of the university through their work.
