Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAnna Knight is a biomedical engineer with 11 years of experience focused on ultrasound elasticity imaging and translating shear wave elastography into clinical and research applications. She recently completed a Ph.D. at Duke University studying anisotropic mechanics of skeletal muscle and developed scanner sequences, FEM models, and reconstruction tools to quantify tissue mechanics. At Duke she led multi-site in vivo studies, authored peer-reviewed papers and conference presentations, and contributed to grant efforts that supported R01 funding. Now at Johns Hopkins APL, she applies human performance and biomechanics expertise to research and exploratory development for medical devices and sensing. Her background includes industry validation work at Siemens Healthineers and a history of curriculum development and outreach, reflecting both technical depth and commitment to translational impact. She’s actively seeking opportunities in ultrasound engineering, medical devices, or scientific consulting.
