Dr. Georgy Sankin has joined the Biomedical Acoustics Laboratory as a Senior Research Scientist in mid-March. Dr. Sankin is an outstanding experimental physicist and mechanical engineer with more than two decades of experience in physical and biomedical acoustics. For the last 20 years, he was a research scientist in the Department of Mechanical Engineering & Material Science at Duke University, where he made seminal contributions to the fields of shock wave lithotripsy, focused ultrasound, and acoustic cavitation. Dr. Sankin will work on the development of acoustic tweezing spectroscopy for drop-of-sample characterization of blood and other biological fluids. We are excited and look forward to working with Georgy on this disruptive technology.
