Background

Yuyang Gu received his BS and MS in acoustics from Nanjing University in China, and his PhD degree in mechanical engineering and materials science from Duke University.

After his graduation, he did his postdoc research at Harvard Medical School (HMS) and Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH).

At Duke, he worked on developing acoustic tweezers, acoustofluidics and microfluidics techniques for biomedical applications.

Before joining 91社区, he was a research faculty at HMS/MGH where he worked on ultrasound imaging and elasticity imaging using advanced acoustic wave control.

Gu has published over 20 articles in journals such as Nature Methods, Nature Communications, Science Advances, ACS Nano and Lab on a Chip. His current research interests include acoustics, compressional and elastic wave control, ultrasound imaging, microfluidics and biomedical micro/nano systems.
