Jue Wang, Assistant Professor of MathematicsJue Wang

Jue Wang’s research interests include fluid dynamics and turbulence, medical image processing  and numerical analysis. Her current work focuses on the artifact-free reconstruction of ultrasound image information and 3D segmentation. Spatial variations of attenuation across tissue layers can result in shadowing and enhancement artifacts in ultrasound B-scan images. These artifacts hide underlying echo signals that are truly clinically indicative of diseases and tumors. She has developed novel mathematical models and methods towards high quality attenuation compensation. She formulates and solves the inverse problem using energy minimization with region-based isotropic regularizations. This work will bring new insights into cancer detection and is particularly valuable for treatment planning.
