Senior🎓
Top SchoolPeng Wang is a Research Assistant Professor and biomedical imaging engineer with 14 years of cross-disciplinary experience in MR-guided interventions, medical image processing, and electromagnetic modeling for therapeutic devices. He combines a PhD in biomedical engineering with deep hands-on skills in modern C++, GPU-accelerated reconstruction, and Linux-based development to deliver real-time imaging tools and protocols used in animal studies and early clinical trials for blood-brain barrier opening. His work spans algorithm development (segmentation, classification, Kalman-filter motion compensation), numerical EM/thermal simulation and optimization of microwave antennas, and implementation of real-time acquisition modules (RTHawk). Comfortable bridging academia, industry, and regulatory-sensitive clinical research, he has led imaging protocol development and collaborative algorithm projects for drug infusion monitoring and focused ultrasound therapies. A US citizen based in West Virginia, he brings both theoretical rigor and practical systems-building experience that accelerate translation from simulation to in vivo and clinical studies.
