Message from the Web Editors

The UFFC website has a new look! We hope you enjoy our new layout and find it easy to use. We have tried to make it easy for you to find what you are looking for. We have Quick Links to popular information in the upper right of each page. There is a Site Map link in the right sidebar to give you a bird's eye view of the site. We also try to make it easy to back track from any of the deeper pages on our site. We anticipate that there will be ongoing tweaks as we transition from the old to the new. We encourage you to contact us if you have questions or comments (good or bad).

Upcoming Symposia

The UFFC is sponsoring the upcoming Symposia:

Distinguished Lecturer

2008-2009 UFFC-S Distinguished Lecturer
Peter Burns: Bubbles and ultrasound: A new partnership for medical imaging

Dr. Burns is Professor and Chairman of Medical Biophysics and Professor of Radiology at the University of Toronto and Senior Scientist at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Toronto. In 1988 he began research with microbubbles as ultrasound contrast agents, focusing on the development of nonlinear methods such as harmonic, pulse inversion and amplitude modulation imaging as well as their clinical applications in perfusion imaging of the heart, abdomen and tumors. He has published more than 130 papers, 4 books and holds several patents in diagnostic ultrasound. He has received numerous awards including the World Federation of Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology Pioneer Award (1988), the Ian Donald Gold Medal for Technical Achievement (2002), Innovation and Excellence Trophy of the Société Canadienne de Radiologie (2002), the Euroson Lecturer of the European Society for Ultrasound in Medicine (2005), and the Donald McVicar and Brown Lecturer of British Medical Ultrasound Society (2006).

Workshop on Piezoresponse Force Microscopy

This workshop is a continuation of the series of workshops held in Oak Ridge (USA) and continued in Lausanne (Switzerland) and Oak Ridge (USA). It targets academia, engineering and research communities and provides both an in-depth training course on Piezoresponse Force Microscopy complemented with a scientific conference discussing theoretical background, recent developments, and applications for studying nanoscale phenomena in ferroelectrics, multiferroics, bioobjects and other polar (ferro- or piezoelectric) materials.

Jun. 23-27, 2009: Piezoresponse Force Microscopy and Nanoscale Phenomena in Polar Materials, Aveiro, Portugal
