Tim Colonius, Mark F. Hamilton, James A. McAteer, Michael R. Bailey, and Yuri A. Pishchalnikov
Michael R. Bailey worked with Robert Apfel, Glynn Holt, and Christy Holland as an undergraduate at Yale University. He received his Ph.D. from The University of Texas at Austin (1997) with David Blackstock as his advisor. Bailey moved to Lawrence Crum’s group, now the Center for Industrial and Medical Ultrasound at Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), University of Washington. Bailey is cur- rently a Senior Research Engineer at APL and PI of the APL portion of the lithotripsy program project (NIH DK43881) with Indiana University Medical School and Caltech. Bailey is chair of the ASA Technical Committee on Biomedical Ultrasound/Bioresponse to Vibration, an R. Bruce Lindsay Award winner (2004), an organizer of ASA special sessions, and a member of the AIUM Bio-effects Committee.
James A. McAteer is Professor of Anatomy and Cell Biology at the Indiana University School of Medicine, Indianapolis, and has worked in lithotripsy research for 20 years. Dr. McAteer is a member of the Acoustical Society of America, serving on the ASA Biomedical Ultrasound/Bioresponse to Vibration techni- cal committee, and has contributed to several ASA special ses- sions on shock waves in medicine including Seattle (1998), Chicago (2001), Austin (2004), and Vancouver (2005).
Yuri A. Pishchalnikov received his M.S. degree in physics and Ph.D. degree in acoustics from M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia, in 1994 and 1997, respectively. He was a faculty member in the Department of Acoustics, Physics Faculty at Moscow State University from 1997 until 2003, where he worked in the nonlinear acoustics laboratory of Drs. Oleg V. Rudenko and Oleg A. Sapozhnikov. In 2003 Dr. Pishchalnikov joined the Department of Anatomy and Cell Biology at Indiana University, Indianapolis, Indiana. His primary research interests are in nonlinear acoustics and its application to medicine, focusing on research in shock wave lithotripsy. Dr. Pishchalnikov received a Joint Stipend award from the Acoustical Society of America and the Russian Acoustical Society in 1995. He is a mem- ber of the Biomedical Ultra-sound/Bioresponse to
Vibration technical committee of the Acoustical Society of America.
Mark F. Hamilton is the Harry L. Kent, Jr. Professor in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Texas at Austin, and he is Research Professor at Applied Research Laboratories, UT Austin. He earned his B.S. in Electrical Engineering at Columbia University, and his M.S. and Ph.D. in Acoustics at the Pennsylvania State University. He is actively involved in the Acoustical Society of America, having served most recently as its Vice President. He is a Fellow of the Society and was a recipient of the ASA F. V. Hunt Postdoctoral Research Fellowship and the R. Bruce Lindsay Award. He was also a recipient of the Fellowship for Science and Engineering from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation. He conducts research in physical acoustics, mainly nonlinear acoustics. His research currently focuses on biomedical applications, such as acoustic cavitation in lithotripsy in collaboration with Michael Bailey at Applied Physics Laboratory, University of Washington.
Tim Colonius received his B.S. degree from the University of Michigan and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Stanford University (1994). He subsequently joined the faculty at the California Institute of Technology where he is now Professor of Mechanical Engineering. He and his group develop and use numerical simulation to study complex unsteady flow phenomena including turbulence, instability, aeroacoustics, shock waves, cavitation, and flow control. He was introduced to lithotripsy by the late Prof. Brad Sturtevant and joined the lithotripsy program project (NIH DK43881) with Indiana University in 1999. Colonius also leads a group of researchers working on closed-loop flow control for small unmanned air vehicles through a Multidisciplinary University Research Initiative (MURI). He received an NSF Career Award and serves on commit- tees for the AIAA and the editorial board of Theoretical and Computational Fluid Dynamics.
