The mission of the Cross Ultrasound Research (CURE) Laboratory is to design unique ultrasound platforms for translational research. Our research in the CURE Lab. is directed towards advancing multi-disciplinary knowledge at the crossroads between ultrasonics, dynamics/mechanics, chemistry, and bioengineering, with the particular goal of developing a new sensing material that can seamlessly interact with structures and environments. At the intersections of these fields, we develop a unique set of ultrasonic tools capable of quantifying the current state of damage in solid materials, as well as stimulating molecules, cells, and drugs for cancer therapy in soft materials.
