Richard Su

Bios

A graduate of the University of Texas in Austin with a Bachelor's of Science in Biomedical Engineering in 2007. His technical area of expertise was in cellular and bio-molecular engineering with coursework in Pre-Med and a Business Foundation certification from UT. He spent a lot of time in laboratories dealing with mice, cell culturing, and imaging from volunteer work and previous jobs. The past few years he has been involved in optoacoustic imaging in phantom design, in-vitro and in-vivo imaging, and software design and testing. He is currently pursuing his PhD.

Expertise

Optical and acoustic measurements
Creation of phantoms for optoacoustic
Phantom and animal testing
Filtering and image processing of 2D and 3D images
Matlab programmer and software testing
