2024 NSF Waterman Award

Professor Bell was selected to receive the 2024 Alan T. Waterman Award, which is the highest award in the United States to early-career scientists and engineers. She was recognized “for  pioneering innovations in ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging, particularly coherence-based beamforming, photoacoustic-guided surgery, and deep learning. These innovations cross interdisciplinary boundaries to improve medical image quality in patients, reduce patient deaths during surgery, inspire new surgical designs, and provide more equitable healthcare.”
