About Caterina Gallippi:

Dr. Gallippi joined the Joint Biomedical Engineering Department as an Assistant Professor in December 2004 to pursue clinical research of advanced ultrasonic imaging. Specifically, Dr. Gallippi will apply her knowledge of adaptive signal isolation, mutli-dimensional velocity measurement, and Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) imaging methods to enhance the diagnostic and therapeutic relevance of ultrasound with respect to cardiovascular diseases and cancer.

Dr. Gallippi is a native of Pittsburgh, PA. She is a member of the International Electronics and Electrical Engineering (IEEE) Society.
