Research
Professor Shung currently conducts research primarily in the area of high frequency ultrasonic imaging and transducer development supported by an NIH National Resource grant on transducer technology. Its thrust is on developing high frequency ultrasonic transducers and arrays which with improved spatial resolution are and can be used for dermatological, ophthalmological and intravascular imaging and small animal imaging.
