I joined IITM in March 2014. Previously, I was a faculty at The University of Texas Medical School at Houston (UTHSC), USA. I have been working in the field of Ultrasound Elastography, imaging the elastic properties of soft tissues using ultrasound since commencement of my PhD research work in the Ultrasonics and Elastographics laboratory at UTHSC, Houston. Subsequently, I did a postdoctoral fellowship at M.D.Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, USA.

             My research efforts during PhD focused on the development of Axial-Shear Strain Elastography (ASSE), a novel elastographic technique that opens the way for imaging the bonding properties at tissue interfaces. Currently, my elastography research focuses on extending elastographic techniques, including ASSE modality, to several clinical applications. My postdoctoral training focused on developing and optimizing high-frequency ultrasound imaging protocols for small animal imaging. During this time, i collaborated with MR imaging physicists and radiation oncologists towards developing a registered US-MR platform as a tool to investigate the radio-sensitization mechanism in cancer treatment.

            Prior to research in ultrasound Elastography, I spent two years working in the bio-signal analysis lab at the University of Houston to develop signal processing algorithms for an automated system to detect seizures from neonatal EEG data.
