Wei Zhang

Wei Zhang is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Michigan. His work focuses on advancing medical imaging technologies for radiation therapy, including ionizing radiation acoustic imaging (iRAI) for real-time dosimetry and treatment guidance. He also explores interdisciplinary areas like wireless power transfer systems and machine learning applications in healthcare.

• PhD in Biomedical Engineering

His research interests include radiation dosimetry, multimodal imaging techniques (e.g., ultrasound and X-ray combinations), and their clinical applications in cancer therapy. He has pioneered the development of iRAI for volumetric dose mapping during radiotherapy, enabling precise treatment monitoring deep within tissues like the liver. Additional interests span driver behavior prediction systems and energy-efficient wireless charging solutions.

Dr. Zhang received the BEST IN PHYSICS (THERAPY) Award in 2020 for his work on FLASH radiotherapy dosimetry. His contributions bridge biomedical engineering, physics, and clinical oncology, with a focus on translating innovations into practical clinical tools.

He advises on grants related to medical imaging and energy systems, though specific grant details are not listed here. His lab is part of the Biomedical Engineering department’s advanced imaging and therapeutic technologies initiatives.
