Shashank Sirsi

Shashank Sirsi serves as an Associate Professor in the Department of Bioengineering at the Erik Jonsson School of Engineering and Computer Science, University of Texas at Dallas, where he leads research in ultrasound-mediated cancer therapeutics.

His work focuses on developing micro- and nanoscale biomaterials for in vivo imaging and image-guided drug delivery, with core interests spanning cancer research, ultrasound contrast agent development, and sound wave-triggered therapeutic systems. His lab specifically engineers methods to monitor tumor perfusion and control vascular permeability while enabling on-demand drug release at tumor sites.

Dr. Sirsi directs a research laboratory dedicated to creating clinically viable ultrasound contrast agents for systemic drug delivery, as evidenced by the department's active recruitment for research positions supporting this mission.
