معرفی
Jeffrey Ketterling is a Professor of Biomedical Engineering in the Department of Radiology at Weill Cornell Medical College since 2022. With over 25 years of experience in ultrasound research, he pioneers high-frequency ultrasound (>20 MHz) and plane-wave imaging technologies for ophthalmic and small-animal applications.
- Education: Ph.D. and M.Phil. in Engineering from Yale University (1999, 1997), M.S. from Yale (1996), B.S. from University of Washington (1994)
Research Focus: Dr. Ketterling’s work bridges ultrasound transducer design (e.g., annular arrays, CMUT arrays), intraocular pressure dynamics, and clinical translation of imaging modalities. His innovations include:
- Patented annular-array transducer fabrication
- High-speed plane-wave imaging for blood flow quantification
- Acoustic nanodrop activation for microcirculation mapping
- Deep learning frameworks for embryonic mouse imaging
Publication Trends: Recent studies emphasize machine-independent quantitative ultrasound for vitreous floaters, vortex flow analysis in cardiac models, and deep learning-enhanced segmentation of 3D ultrasound data. Collaborative efforts span ophthalmology, cardiology, and biomedical engineering domains.
Research Funding: Principal Investigator for NIH grants including:
- National Institute of Biomedical Imaging & Bioengineering (2022–2025): 3D Annular-Array Ultrasound for Vitreo-Retinal Disease
- National Heart, Lung, & Blood Institute (2022–2026): High-Frequency 2D Row-Column CMUT Arrays for Cardiac Imaging
Labs & Teams: Leads a multidisciplinary team developing next-generation ultrasound systems, collaborating with ophthalmologists and biomedical engineers to advance in utero and clinical imaging protocols.
