Jeffery Brian Fowlkes is a Professor of Radiology and Professor of Biomedical Engineering. He is currently directing and conducting research in medical ultrasound including the use of gas bubbles for diagnostic and therapeutic applications. His work includes studies of ultrasound contrast agents for monitoring tissue perfusion, acoustic droplet vaporization for bubble production in cancer therapy and phase aberration correction, effects of gas bubbles in high intensity ultrasound and volume flow estimation for ultrasonic imaging. Dr. Fowlkes received his B. S. degree in physics from the University of Central Arkansas in 1983, and his M. S. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Mississippi in 1986 and 1988, respectively, both in physics. Dr. Fowlkes is a Fellow of the American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) and a four-time recipient of the AIUM Presidential Recognition Award for outstanding contributions and service to the expanding future of ultrasound in medicine and the Joseph H. Holmes Pioneer Award for Basic Science. Dr. Fowlkes is a Fellow of the American Institute of Medical and Biomedical Engineering (AIMBE), the Acoustical Society of America (ASA) and the American Association of Physicists in Medicine (AAPM).
