Russell Witte received a BS degree with honors in physics from the University of Arizona, Tucson, in 1993, and the PhD degree in bioengineering in 2002. Following travel abroad in Europe and Brazil, he began graduate school at Arizona State University in bioengineering. His doctoral thesis exploited chronic microelectrode arrays to describe sensory coding and cortical plasticity in the mammalian brain.
He then moved to the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, to develop new ultrasound contrast mechanisms for imaging, especially brain, nerve, and muscle tissue. While at the Biomedical Ultrasonics Laboratory, he helped devise several novel imaging techniques involving ultrasound.
Dr. Witte is currently assistant professor of radiology, optical sciences and biomedical engineering at the University of Arizona. His Experimental Ultrasound and Neural Imaging Laboratory develops new methods using a combination of light, ultrasound and radio frequencies that potentially affect a variety of medical disorders from epilepsy to cancer. In addition to the cancer imaging program, Dr. Witte is on the Neuroscience, Applied Mathematics, and Biomedical Engineering graduate programs.
