个人简介
Min Joo Choi (Member, IEEE) was born in South Korea in 1962. He received the B.Sc. degree in mechanical engineering from Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea, in 1985, the M.Sc. degree in biomedical engineering from the University of Surrey, Guildford, U.K., in 1987, and the Ph.D. degree in medical ultrasonics from the University of Bath, Bath, U.K., in 1992.
He was a Medical Physicist with St Thomas’ Hospital London, London, U.K., in 1988, where he carried out a project on extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) as a part of his Ph.D. work. He continued his work in the same hospital as a Clinical Scientist on medical ultrasound until 1995 when he moved to the College of Medicine, Seoul National University, as a Brain Pool Professor, where he initiated the massive national research (G7) projects on high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) treating benign prostatic hyperplasia and on acoustic rhinometry, while he was involved in the study on artificial heart. In 1997, he joined the Medical School, Jeju National University (JNU), Jeju, South Korea, where he founded the Artificial Heart Institute and was the Director until 2003. He also established an interdisciplinary postgraduate program in biomedical engineering at JNU in 2001. From 2003 until 2005, he stayed at the National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, U.K., as a Visiting Professor to develop a novel method for cavitation monitoring in high-power ultrasonic fields. For ten years (since 2005), he was appointed as an Honorary Lecturer at the School of Medicine, King’s College London, University of London, London. He has been appointed as a joint Research Professor at the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, Seongnam, South Korea, since 2019. He is currently in charge of the Department of Biomedical Engineering and the Director of the Medical Convergence Technology Center, JNU. He is the author of three books, more than 140 articles, 330 academic presentations, and 45 domestic and foreign patents. His research areas include acoustic cavitation, passive cavitation imaging, extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy and therapy, HIFU surgery, ultrasonic contrast agent, high-power laser surgery, performance testing and safety assurance on medical ultrasonic devices, and psychoacoustics and music therapy.
Dr. Choi has served as an Editorial Board Member of international journals, including Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, Ultrasonography, and Journal of Therapeutic Ultrasound. He is the President of the Korean Society of Therapeutic Ultrasound and the Vice President of the Korean Society for Naturopathy. Recently, he has co-chaired the Organizing Committee of the International Symposium for Therapeutic Ultrasound (ISTU 2021) the first hybrid (online and offline at the same time) convention. He was a recipient of the academic awards from the Korea Society of Medical and Biological Engineering, the Acoustical Society of Korea and the Korean Society for Therapeutic ultrasound, and the Korean Society of Hyperthermia, as well as the Best Reviewer of Research Grants from the National Research Foundation, the Professor of Excellence in Research at JNU, and the Best Professor in Teaching at JNU.
