Research interests
Prof. Cochran’s research focuses on materials and systems to apply ultrasound principally in medicine and life sciences. His lab is the only one in the UK dedicated to medical ultrasound materials and systems, and one of only a handful like it in the world. Topics of particular interest are:
- New piezoelectric materials and better utilisation of existing materials
- Miniature devices for clinical applications of high resolution ultrasound imaging
- Focused ultrasound surgery and ultrasound-targeted drug delivery
- Ultrasound for transmission beamforming and manipulation of cells and particles
- Miniature and microscale ultrasound systems for biomedical applications
- Ultrasound and other techniques for sensing in the body
Prof. Cochran has led more than 20 research projects with a value of more than £12m and been a co-investigator on around 20 more, worth a further £8m. He has been a director of two startup companies and is an inventor on 10 patents. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Physics and a member of several others learned societies. He has led the supervision of sixteen successful PhD / EngD students and jointly supervised five more. He is presently lead or joint supervisor for eight PhD / EngD students.
