Robert J. McGough |
Dr.
McGough received a B.E. in electrical engineering/physics from Vanderbilt University, an M.S. in electrical engineering from the University of Illinois, and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering (systems) from the
University of Michigan. Before coming to MSU, he was a member of the
research faculty at Duke University Medical
Center in the Department of Radiation
Oncology. His research interests
include biomedical ultrasonics and electromagnetics, thermal therapy,
targeted drug delivery, and medical imaging. He is a member of IEEE (UFFC and EMB Societies), the Society for Thermal Medicine, the Acoustical Society of America, and the International Society for Therapeutic Ultrasound.
