معرفی
Stephen McAleavey is an Associate Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Rochester's Hajim School of Engineering & Applied Sciences. He chairs the Department of Biomedical Engineering and directs the Rochester Center for Biomedical Ultrasound. He earned his PhD in Electrical and Computer Engineering from the University of Rochester in 2001, followed by postdoctoral research at Duke University, where he contributed to early ARFI imaging development.
His research focuses on advancing ultrasound imaging techniques, including Spatially Modulated Ultrasound Radiation Force (SMURF) imaging and single tracking location shear wave elastography (STL-SWEI). Key projects include magnetically induced motion imaging (MIMI) for brachytherapy seed localization and Scholte wave mitigation in elastography. He holds multiple patents in ultrasound imaging and is a Senior Member of IEEE.
Research interests span instrumentation, signal processing, elasticity imaging, and ultrasound echo modeling. His work addresses tissue stiffness characterization, motion tracking for therapeutic delivery, and real-time imaging applications in clinical settings.
Publications emphasize innovations in shear wave elastography, viscoelasticity analysis, and placental imaging. He collaborates on interdisciplinary projects, including 3D-printed hydrogel models for surgical simulation and robot-assisted ultrasound systems.
His contributions include 15+ recent papers (2021–2024) on topics like nonlinear viscoelasticity, ARFI geometry optimization, and clinical ultrasound biomarkers. Awards include IEEE Senior Membership recognition for sustained technical contributions.
