Julianna Simon

Julianna Simon is an Associate Professor in the Graduate Program in Acoustics at Pennsylvania State University. Her research focuses on the application of focused ultrasound in biomedical contexts, including tendinopathy treatment, atherosclerotic plaque detection, bone regeneration, and cellular immunotherapy imaging. She has secured significant grants from the National Science Foundation, National Cancer Institute, and U.S. Army.

• Active in projects related to ultrasound-induced cavitation, heterotopic ossification, and phase-changing contrast agents.
• Contributions to UN Sustainable Development Goals in healthcare innovation.

Research Trends: Recent publications emphasize ultrasound's role in tissue engineering, diagnostic precision, and therapeutic interventions, with interdisciplinary collaborations in biomedical engineering and materials science.

Grants & Projects: Leads research on focused ultrasound for tendinopathies and heterotopic ossification, funded by NSF, U.S. Army, and Congressionally Directed Medical Research Programs.
