Yuu
Ono received his B.Eng. degree in Electrical Engineering from Tohoku
University, Sendai, Japan in 1990, and M.Eng. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical
and Communication Engineering in 1992 and 1995, respectively, from the same
university. Right after completing his Ph.D. study, he became a Research
Associate at the Graduate School of Engineering, Tohoku University, where he
worked on the development of ultrasonic material characterization system and
its application for electronic, semiconductor and optical materials and
devices. In 2001, he was awarded a Canadian Government Laboratory Visiting
Fellowship and joined the Industrial Materials Institute (IMI) at National
Research Council (NRC) of Canada, Boucherville, QC. In 2002, he became a
Research Officer at the IMI, NRC. He was also appointed as an Adjunct Professor
at the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, Concordia
University, Montreal, QC in 2003-2006. In 2006, he joined the Department of
Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University, Ottawa, ON. In 2020,
he was appointed as a Visiting Professor at the Graduate School of Biomedical
Engineering, Tohoku University. He is a senior member of IEEE (UFFC-S, EMBS), a
member of the Canadian Medical Biological Engineering Society, and a professional
engineer licensed in Ontario.
His research interests include development of
ultrasonic sensors and their applications for biomedical monitoring, diagnosis
and control; tissue characterization; ultrasound signal and image processing;
real-time monitoring, control and optimization of material processes; materials
characterization; and non-destructive evaluation of products and structures.
His lab has been developing and investigating wearable ultrasound sensor
technology for real-time monitoring of skeletal muscle dynamics and
cardiovascular health.
