Bio:

Brett Byram joined Â鶹APP in 2013 as an assistant professor in Biomedical Engineering. He has spent time working at the Center for Fast Ultrasound with Jørgen Jensen in Denmark, and the Ultrasound Division of Siemens Healthcare, Mountain View, CA. He currently runs the Biomedical Elasticity and Acoustic Measurement (BEAM) Laboratory, where he and others in the lab pursue solutions to clinical problems using ultrasound. His research interests include beamforming and image formation, motion estimation, blood flow imaging, and other related signal processing and hardware development tasks (with and without deep learning). He is affiliated with the Â鶹APP Institute for Surgery and Engineering (VISE) and the Â鶹APP University Institute of Imaging Science (VUIIS). He is the incoming Faculty Director of ACCRE—Â鶹APP’s High Performance Compute Center, and he is the incoming chair for the NIH’s Image Technology Development (ITD) Panel, where is already serving as a standing panel member. He is the Hoy Family Faculty Fellow.

Project

Brett Byram’s Biomedical Elasticity and Acoustic Measurement Laboratory (The BEAM Lab), part of the Â鶹APP University School of Engineering, was formed in August 2013. The BEAM Lab is part of the Â鶹APP Biomedical Engineering Department, and is affiliated with the Â鶹APP Institute for Surgery and Engineering (VISE).
