Bibliographical note
Funding Information:Lihong V. Wang (M’96–SM’00–F’06) worked toward the Ph.D. degree at Rice University, Houston, TX, under the tutelage of Dr. Robert Curl, Dr. Richard Smalley, and Dr. Frank Tittel. He holds the Gene K. Beare Distinguished Professorship of biomedical engineering at Washington University in St. Louis, St. Louis, MO, and directs the Optical Imaging Labora-tory. He edited the first comprehensive book on photoacoustic tomography. He is the author or coauthor of 223 peer-reviewed journal articles and has delivered 239 invited talks. His laboratory invented or discovered frequency-swept ultrasound-modulated optical tomography, dark-field confocal photoacoustic microscopy (PAM), optical-resolution PAM, photoacoustic Doppler sens-ing, photoacoustic reporter gene imaging, focused scanning microwave-induced thermoacoustic tomography, exact reconstruction algorithms for photoacoustic or thermoacoustic tomography, sonoluminescence tomography, Mueller-matrix optical coherence tomography, optical coherence computed tomography, and oblique-incidence reflectometry. His Monte Carlo model of photon transport in scattering media has been used worldwide. Prof. Wang is a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (AIMBE), the IEEE, the Optical Society of America (OSA), and The International Society for Optical Engineers (SPIE). He is the Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Biomedical Optics. He serves as an equal Co-Chair for the Annual Conference on Photons Plus Ultrasound, the 2010 Gordon Conference on Lasers in Medicine and Biology, and the 2010 OSA Topical Meeting on Biomedical Optics. He also Co-Chairs the International Biomedical Optics Society. He is a Chartered Member on a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Study Section. He serves as the Founding Chairs of the Scientific Advisory Boards for two companies commercializing his inventions. He received an NIH FIRST Award and a National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award. He authored one of the first textbooks in the field of biomedical optics and received the 2010 Joseph W. Goodman Book Writing Award.
