معرفی
Caterina Gallippi is a Professor in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and North Carolina State University. Her research focuses on advancing ultrasonic imaging technologies, particularly acoustic radiation force-based elastography. She holds a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University and a B.S.E. in Electrical Engineering from Princeton University.
Her laboratory develops cutting-edge ultrasound methods for noninvasive tissue characterization, including techniques for assessing mechanical properties, atherosclerosis, and renal function. Key research areas include adaptive regression methods, multi-dimensional tissue motion estimation, and clinical translation of imaging algorithms. Recent work includes the Quantitative Viscoelastic Response (QVisR) framework and GPU-accelerated elastography.
- Awards: NIH Independent Scientist (2010-2015), UNC Women’s Health Research Excellence Award (2009)
- Labs/Teams: Gallippi Ultrasound Lab (part of the Ultrasound Research Association of North Carolina)
- Advising: Mentors Ph.D. students like Keerthi Anand and Lucas Gillette, with ongoing recruitment for interdisciplinary projects in 2025.
Her lab’s clinical applications span stroke risk assessment, kidney transplant monitoring, and musculoskeletal imaging, leveraging both experimental and computational approaches.
