Hui Wang and team receive new NIH grant for development of reliable optical imaging phantom
Hui Wang, Ph.D., associate professor of Chemical, Paper, and Biomedical Engineering, has recently been awarded a new grant of approximately $200,000 from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB), a division of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This grant will support Wang and his team—comprised of research associate Thibault Bondaz, Ph.D., graduate Master's student Nam Hoang, and Ph.D. student Weihao Cheng—in developing a reliable optical imaging phantom for optical imaging applications. Imaging phantoms are crucial tools for calibrating and assessing the performance of imaging devices before they are used in animal and human studies.

During his tenure at Miami University, Wang has secured $1.5 million in research grants from NIH and the Department of Defense (DOD) as a Principal Investigator. He has also contributed as a Co-investigator to an additional $2.3 million in research funding.
