Bioacoustics, Fluid Dynamics, Applied Mathematics
Dr. Mourad has conducted and published basic and applied research in oceanography, atmospheric sciences, sonoluminescence, arctic and ocean acoustics, acoustic holography, and medical acoustics. The latter has been his emphasis for the great part of the last decade.
He has generated more than twenty invention disclosures at the University of Washington and is an
inventor on three issued patents and another thirteen patent applications, all having to do with means of diagnosing or treating various diseases and disorders. Much of his research is collaborative in nature, residing as it does at the interface of physics and medicine. Some of that research has motivated industrial interactions. His research on novel means of facilitating drug delivery has been incorporated into two recent startup companies – Ratner Biomedical Group and PhaseRx. Dr. Mourad's research on a novel power toothbrush that also uses ultrasound resides in Ultreo, Inc., a company he co-founded. Finally, he co-founded Allez PhysiOnix, Ltd. based on his research on monitoring intracranial pressure non-invasively, automating ultrasound Doppler systems, and improving physician’s ability to localize painful tissues and organs.
He was appointed Research Associate Professor in the UW Department of Neurological Surgery in 2004 and in the UW Department of Pediatric Dentistry in 2007, and has been with APL-UW since 1988.
