The research aims to advance imaging...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $500,000 Project Grant under the CFDA 47.041 Engineering program to the University of Illinois, located in Urbana, IL. This 5-year CAREER award (March 1, 2025 - February 28, 2030) seeks to develop a new "Super-Resolution PAUL (SPAUL)" imaging system that combines ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging techniques. The goal is to capture high-resolution, real-time images of cerebral blood flow, volume, and oxygenation in animal models, which can provide critical insights into neurological conditions like autism and Alzheimer's disease. The project also aims to engage middle school students through a summer camp, interactive demos, and hands-on courses focused on imaging sciences to expand the science and engineering workforce.
