Zhi Wei Tay received his PhD degree in Bioengineering from the University of California Berkeley and BS degree in Biomedical Engineering from Duke University. During his PhD, he worked on the development of a new imaging modality called Magnetic Particle Imaging which works on different principles from MRI. His interests are in developing new platform tools and nanoparticles for magnetic-based sensing, imaging and theranostics such as image-guided magnetic hyperthermia with applications in cell tracking, immunology and cancer theranostics.
