Kia ora! I am a final-year PhD student in the Physical Acoustics Laboratory at the University of Auckland, under the supervision of  Jami Shepherd, Guillaume Renaud  (TU Delft) and Kasper van Wijk. My provisional thesis title is “Using Light and Ultrasound for Quantification of Hemodynamics in Bone“. My research develops and utilises Photoacoustics and Ultrasound vector-flow techniques to determine blood flow from these images. With refraction-corrected imaging, my project aims to accurately determine blood flow in bone.  Currently, we test our techniques in bench-top phantoms but we hope to move towards in vivo imaging soon!
