Dr. Di Ianni completed his postdoctoral training in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University, where he received the Dean’s Postdoctoral Fellowship in 2019 for his work on ultrasound technologies for functional neuroimaging and targeted image-guided neuromodulation. He holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the Technical University of Denmark and an MS degree (summa cum laude) in Electronic Engineering from the University of Bologna, Italy.
Research in the Di Ianni Lab focuses on developing cutting-edge technologies for ultrasound neuromodulation, functional ultrasound imaging, and image-guided neurointervention. Check our website for further information: https://diiannilab.ucsf.edu.
