Biography

Jason Raymond joined the University of Oxford in 2015 as a postdoctoral research assistant in the Department of Engineering Science. His research interests include medical and biological applications of ultrasound and acoustic cavitation. In 2015, Jason was awarded the 41st F.V. Hunt Fellowship of the Acoustical Society of America and currently serves on the Society’s Technical Committees for Physical Acoustics and Biomedical Acoustics. He is also a member of the Physical Acoustics Committee of the Institute of Physics.

He holds a B.S. in Interdisciplinary Engineering and M.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Boston University, and a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Cincinnati.

Dr. Raymond is a Junior Research Fellow at Kellogg College.

Teaching

Introduction to Biomedical Acoustics

I am currently responsible for delivering the 'Introduction to Biomedical Acoustics' lecture in the undergraduate biomedical coursework module and coordinating the ultrasound laboratory exercises for the module. In 2020-21, the laboratory session was taught remotely, some of the recorded sessions are linked below as examples of my teaching.

Demonstrations
Demonstration - Using ultrasound pulse-echo technique to find the range to an object and estimating the speed of sound in an 'unknown' material. (video)
Demonstration - Estimating the speed of sound in a tissue-mimicking phantom. (video)

 

Laboratory Exercise: Lesion formation by high-intensity focused ultrasound: Guidance & treatment monitoring
Laboratory Exercise - Introduction. (video)
Laboratory Exercise - Experiment. (video)

Other Teaching Activities

Engineering, Sustainability and the Environment (4 Lectures, Michaelmas Term)
Dynamics Laboratory (Michaelmas Term)
Biomedical Engineering - Ultrasound (Lecture + Lab Module, Trinity Term)
