Aiguo Han

Aiguo Han serves as an Adjunct Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering within the College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. His research program specializes in advancing quantitative ultrasound methodologies for clinical diagnostics across multiple medical domains.

Dr. Han's work centers on Quantitative Ultrasound with primary applications in obstetrics (preterm birth risk assessment through cervical tissue analysis), hepatology (non-alcoholic fatty liver disease characterization), musculoskeletal imaging (rotator cuff assessment), and oncology (tumor microstructure modeling). His research emphasizes measurement reproducibility, clinical translation of real-time tools, and addressing health disparities in maternal care. Key technical contributions include backscattering coefficient analysis, attenuation modeling, and novel ultrasound scattering frameworks.

Publication trends reveal strong momentum in clinical implementation, particularly for maternal health applications. Recent work demonstrates automated field-of-interest determination in cervical ultrasound, remote monitoring systems for postpartum cardiovascular complications, and high-frequency techniques for musculoskeletal imaging. His tumor microstructure modeling represents innovative cross-disciplinary work bridging ultrasound physics and cancer diagnostics. Collaborations span obstetrics, gynecology, and biomedical engineering departments with significant industry and clinical partnerships.
