Murad Hossain

Murad Hossain is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa, previously serving as an Associate Research Scientist and Post-Doctoral Research Scientist at Columbia University where he developed novel ultrasound techniques for medical applications.

Education:

• B.Sc. in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Islamic University of Technology, Bangladesh (2009)
• M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering, George Mason University (2014)
• Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering, University of North Carolina and North Carolina State University (2019)

His research focuses on ultrasound-based diagnostic and therapeutic methods, including the development of Viscoelastic Response (VisR) ultrasound for kidney dysfunction detection and single transducer-harmonic motion imaging (ST-HMI) for breast cancer diagnosis and chemotherapy monitoring. He also investigates thermal ablation of breast tumors and neuromodulation.

Publications totaling 15 peer-reviewed journal articles and 28 conference proceedings emphasize ultrasound elastography for renal and oncological applications, with strong trends in tissue characterization, frequency-specific mechanical property assessment, and therapeutic intervention.

Scientific Awards:

• IEEE IUS conference travel award
• UNC BME department award
• NCSU graduate merit award
• GMU Chairman award
