GRADUATE STUDENTS
Azadeh Dashti
I joined Dr.Muller’s lab in May 2019. My research focuses on ultrasound stimulation of platelet-like particles for wound healing. I received my M.S. in mechanical engineering from the Sharif University of Technology in Tehran, Iran, and B.S. in mechanical engineering from the Urmia University of Technology in Urmia, Iran. In my free time, I enjoy reading books, jogging, and watching movies.
Roshan Roshankhah
I am a PhD student in mechanical engineering at NC State University. I’ve joined Dr. Muller lab in November 2019. I received my bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering from Sharif University of Technology at Tehran in 2016 and joined NC State on a direct-to-PhD program at MAE Department. My research is focused on lesion imaging and detection in heterogeneous media using ultrasonic waves. In my free time, I enjoy going to the gym, hiking and cooking.
Brett Austin McCandless
Brett Austin McCandless received his B.S.M.E. from NCSU in December 2016. He has previously researched under Dr. Hsiao-Ying Shadow Huang, studying the tendon-to-bone insertion tissue and its properties. His current work focuses on quantitative ultrasound propagation in cortical bone. In his free time, he enjoys camping, hiking, and the occasional game of chess.
Josh Mitchell
I am a graduate student in Mechanical Engineering on pace to graduate in December of 2020. I am currently working on a collaborative project that seeks to detect tumors using ultrasound multiple scattering from microbubbles injected into the blood vessels. My primary responsibilities include designing and constructing new vessel phantoms for testing. In my spare time, I enjoy martial arts, fitness, reading and learning new things.
