Dr. Costas D. Arvanitis, MSc, PhD, is an Assistant Professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology. He received his Doctor of Philosophy from UCL. Dr. Arvanitis joined the Georgia Institute of Technology as a joint Assistant Professor at the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering and the Wallace H. Coulter Department of Biomedical Engineering in August 2016. Before joining the Georgia Institute of Technology he was Instructor (Research Faculty) at Harvard Medical Scholl and Brigham and Women’s Hospital. Dr. Arvanitis has also worked as a research fellow in the Biomedical Ultrasonics, Biotherapy, and Biopharmaceuticals Laboratory at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oxford.

Dr. Arvanitis’ research is focused on biomedical ultrasound and image-guided therapy. His work focuses on understanding the biological effects of ultrasound and of acoustically induced microbubble oscillations (acoustic cavitation) and using them to study complex biological systems, such as the neurovascular network and the tumor microenvironment, with the goal of developing novel therapies for the treatment of cancer and central nervous system diseases and disorders.
