Summary
Hatim Belgharbi is a PhD candidate and graduate research assistant in biomedical engineering at UNC–NC State, bringing a decade of hands-on experience in ultrasound imaging, hardware calibration, and clinical translation. He leads a human transcranial 3D ultrasound super-resolution initiative, combining focused sequence design, simulation-guided beamforming, and large-aperture sparse array expertise to push neuroimaging toward clinical use. Hatim has a strong track record of maintaining and optimizing custom imaging systems under NIH, FDA, and ISO constraints, and he routinely trains clinicians and collaborators on system operation and safety. His background spans academic research and medical device internships where he developed simulation tools, SOPs, and product management practices for regulated healthcare products. Colleagues describe him as a practical problem-solver who blends meticulous experimental rigor with a knack for translating complex engineering methods into usable clinical workflows.
