Biography

Dr. Paul Dayton received his B.S. in Physics from Villanova University in 2005, his M.E. in Electrical Engineering from the University of Virginia in 1998, and his PhD in Biomedical Engineering in 2001, also from the University of Virginia. He pursued postdoctoral research and was later research faculty at the University of California at Davis. Much of Dr. Dayton’s training was under the mentorship of Dr. Katherine Ferrara, where his initial studies involved high speed optical and acoustical analysis of individual contrast agent microbubbles. In 2007, Dr. Dayton accepted a faculty position in the Joint Department of Biomedical Engineering at UNC Chapel Hill and NC State University, Raleigh, where he is now Associate Professor and Director of the Graduate Program. Dr. Dayton is a member of the technical program committee for IEEE UFFC, and a member of the editorial boards for the journals Molecular Imaging and Bubble Science, Engineering, and Technology. Dr. Dayton’s research interests involve ultrasound contrast imaging, ultrasoundmediated therapies, and medical devices.
