Medical Acoustics, Wave Scattering, Electromagnetic Induction Methods, Inverse Problems

Dr. Kaczkowski studies applications of ultrasound in medical diagnostic imaging and therapy. Current projects include developing high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) for minimally invasive surgery, and the development of new methods of imaging with ultrasound. He has developed an electromagnetic induction system for detecting and identifying unexploded ordnance on land. Previous work also includes a theoretical and numerical investigation of a new method for computing rough surface scattering, numerical modeling of wave propagation through random media, and inverse problems. Dr. Kaczkowski joined the Laboratory as a graduate student in 1988 and as a staff member in 1992.
