About
José Francisco S. Costa-Júnior received the B.Sc. degree in Physics from the Universidade Estadual de Santa Cruz, Ilhéus, Bahia, Brazil, in 2007, and the M.Sc. and D.Sc. degrees in Biomedical Engineering from the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ), Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, in 2010 and 2014, respectively. He completed a postdoctoral fellowship in Biomedical Engineering at UFRJ between 2014 and 2016.
He is a Professor in the Postgraduate Program in Biomedical Engineering at Brazil University, São Paulo, Brazil. He is also pursuing a postdoctoral fellowship at the Ultrasound Laboratory, Polytechnic School, University of São Paulo (USP), São Paulo, Brazil, where he investigates ultrasonic techniques for industrial applications aimed at developing technological solutions for the productive sector.
His early research focused on ultrasonic elastography, ultrasonic signal processing, metrology, biomedical instrumentation, the evaluation of therapeutic ultrasound systems, phantom development, blood coagulation analysis, and the characterization of biological tissues and tissue-mimicking materials. He previously served as a First Lieutenant and Professor at the Brazilian Air Force Academy, where he taught Applied Physics, Electricity, Mechanics, Communication Systems, Scientific Methodology, and Calculus I and II.
His current research interests include ultrasonic signal and image processing, acoustic radiation force elastography, impulsive acoustic radiation force techniques, vibroacoustography, conventional elastography, phantom development, biomedical instrumentation, and the ultrasonic characterization of biological tissues and tissue-mimicking phantoms. He collaborates with national and international research groups in these fields, serves as a reviewer for international journals in Physics, Engineering, and Biomedical Sciences, and is a member of the Brazilian Society of Biomedical Engineering.
