Biomedical Photoacoustics: Technology and Applications

Dr. Wenfeng Xiais a Senior Lecturer in the School of Biomedical Engineering & Imaging Sciencesat King's College London. He received a BSc in Electrical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, China, and a MSc in Medical Physics from University of Heidelberg, Germany, in 2005 and 2007, respectively. In 2013, he obtained his Ph.D from University of Twente, Netherlands. From 2014 to 2018, he was a Research Associate / Senior Research Associate in the Department ofMedical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at University College London, UK. He joined King's College London in 2018 and immediatelyfunded thePhotons+ Ultrasound Research Laboratory (PURL), which brings together talented scientists who are committed to transform the ways that surgical and interventional procedures are performed via ground-breaking technological innovations. They are fascinated by howlight and sound interact with biological tissue, and how these interactions can be used for patient benefits. In particular, the research at PURL iscentered on the technological advancements and clinical translation ofphotoacoustics (also calledoptoacoustics), an emerging imaging and sensing technique that is based on light generated ultrasound.

Dr. Wenfeng Xia 是倫敦國王學院生物醫學工程與影像科學學院的高級講師。他於2005年在中國上海交通大學獲得電機工程學士學位，並於2007年在德國海德堡大學獲得醫學物理碩士學位。2013年，他在荷蘭特溫特大學獲得博士學位。從2014年到2018年，他在英國倫敦大學學院的醫學物理與生物醫學工程系擔任研究助理/高級研究助理。2018年，他加入倫敦國王學院，並立即成立了光子+超聲研究實驗室（PURL），該實驗室聚集了致力於通過突破性的技術創新改變外科和介入手術方式的優秀科學家。他們對光和聲音如何與生物組織互動以及這些互動如何用於患者利益感到著迷。特別是，PURL的研究集中在光聲學（也稱為光聲技術）的技術進步和臨床轉化上，這是一種基於光生成超聲的嶄新成像和感測技術。
