Tali Ilovitsh is an Assistant Professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering, Tel Aviv University, Israel. She holds a B.Sc., M.Sc., and Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Bar Ilan University, Israel. Between 2016-2019 she was a postdoctoral researcher at Professor Katherine Ferrara lab, initially at University of California Davis, and then at Stanford University School of Medicine, where she was working in the field of medical ultrasound. Her lab is focused on the development of optically-inspired ultrasonic techniques for the establishment of new ultrasound imaging methods. In the field of ultrasound therapy, she investigates the interaction between sound waves and gasbubbles, as a mechanism for enhanced vascular permeability, which enables safe and transient blood brain barrier opening and drug and gene delivery. Dr. Ilovitsh has received many recognitions for her scientific contributions to the fields of ultrasound and optics, and she is a recent recipient of an ERC starting grant.
