Biography
Pratik received an Honors Bachelor of Science in Integrated Science and Physics from McMaster University. He started to work on his PhD’s thesis in the TRUE lab in 2015. His doctoral work focused on “Modelling and Verification of Thermoacoustic Medical Imaging at Nanoscopic and Macroscopic Resolutions”.
In TRUE lab, Pratik had several academic achievements. He published 5 first-author journal articles and an additional 6 journal articles as a co-author. Pratik’s research has awarded two prestigious international scholarships from SPIE (The international society for optics and photonics) for his potential contributions to the field. Pratik has also been recognized with several additional awards such as the Stephenson Cancer Center Student Travel Award, the SBME FY 2019 Fellowship, the Gallogly College of Engineering Dissertation Excellence award, and the 2016 OU Graduate Student Senate conference grant. He is also the 2019 First place winner of the OU 3-minute thesis competition.
