Costas D. Arvanitis

Costas D. Arvanitis is an Associate Professor at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. His research focuses on biomedical ultrasound, image-guided therapy, and the application of ultrasound and microbubble dynamics to treat cancer and central nervous system disorders.

• Ph.D., University College London (2008)
• M.S., University of Patras (2005)
• B.S., Technological Educational Institute of Athens (2003)

The Ultrasound Biophysics & Bioengineering Laboratory (UB²L) he leads integrates ultrasonics, quantitative imaging, mathematical modeling, and in vitro/in vivo experimentation to develop novel diagnostic and therapeutic interventions. Research priorities include: studying ultrasound-cell interactions, ultrasound-mediated drug delivery across biological barriers, and microbubble dynamics in vascular systems.

Scientific distinctions include:

• 2014 Roberts Prize for outstanding article in Physics in Medicine and Biology (2013)
• National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering Pathway to Independence Award
