Jeffrey Ketterling Laboratory
- Professor of Biomedical Engineering in Radiology
Dr. Jeff Ketterling is a professor of biomedical engineering in radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine. Jeff received his B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Washington in 1994, and his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Yale University in 1999. Jeff’s research focuses on the development and translation of ultrasound technology to basic science, and small-animal and clinical applications, particularly in the realm of high-frequency ultrasound. Recent projects include high-speed plane-wave ultrasound imaging for intracardiac flow patterns in mouse adult mice, blood flow in the front and back of the human eye, and activation of acoustic nanodrops for imaging microcirculation.
- Associate Professor of Electrical Engineering in Radiology
Dr. Mamou is an associate professor of electrical engineering in radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine. Jonathan earned a B.S. in electrical engineering from the Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications in Paris, France, in 2000. He earned a Ph.D. in electrical engineering in 2005 from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. His fields of interest include theoretical aspects of ultrasonic scattering, ultrasonic medical imaging, ultrasound contrast agents, and biomedical image processing. Recent projects focus on quantitative ultrasound methods for ultrasound tissue characterization in oncology and ophthalmology, and ultra-high frequencies (>250 MHz) for quantitative acoustic microscopy, among others.
- Research Associate in Radiology
Dr. Cameron Hoerig is a research associate with the Weill Cornell Medicine Department of Radiology Biomedical Ultrasound Research Laboratory (BURL). He received his B.S. from the University of Cincinnati in 2013. He then entered the bioengineering graduate program at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in 2015 and 2018, respectively. His research interests include biomedical ultrasonic imaging, image science, computational mechanics, and machine learning. Dr. Hoerig’s current research projects focus on quantitative ultrasound for soft tissue characterization over a broad range of imaging frequencies spanning 10MHz up to 1GHz.
- Postdoctoral Associate in Radiology
Dr. Geraldi Wahyulaksana, Ph.D., received his MS.c. in electrical engineering from the Eindhoven University of Technology in 2017 and his doctorate in biomedical engineering from Erasmus University Medical Center in 2024. His research focuses on cardiac-blood-flow imaging using high-frame-rate ultrasound, covering both vasculature and chamber studies. Recent projects include plane wave imaging for intracardiac flow patterns in mice and imaging myocardial perfusion with contrast-enhanced ultrasound in porcine.
- Postdoctoral Associate in Radiology
Ladan Yazdani, Ph.D., received her doctorate in biomedical engineering from the University of Montreal. Before her doctoral studies, she completed both her M.S. in biomedical engineering and B.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Tehran. Her research interests include medical ultrasound imaging, signal and image processing, quantitative ultrasound, and elastography. Her recent projects focus on the development and application of ultrasound techniques, specifically targeting the characterization of homogeneity and inhomogeneity in soft tissues, which holds significant potential in advancing diagnostic methodologies in medical imaging.
