Professor James Kwan

James Kwan is an Associate Professor at the Department of Engineering Science at the University of Oxford and a Tutorial Fellow at Balliol College. He is part of the Physical Acoustics Lab (PacLab) and a PI in OSCAR. His research interests include the application of mechanical, thermal, and chemical effects of ultrasound and cavitation to address challenges in personal  and environmental health. He was awarded the W.W. Spooner Junior Research Fellowship at the University of Oxford for his work in ultrasound-based strategies for drug delivery. From 2016 to 2020, James was an Assistant Professor at the School of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at Nanyang Technological University Singapore (SCBE). James’ work to date on ultrasound and cavitation has resulted in invited presentations and lectures around the world, peer-reviewed journal articles in prestigious journals such as Ultrasonics Sonochemistry, Journal of Controlled Release, Small, and Theranostics, and co-authored book chapters. He is also part of the Editorial Board of Ultrasonics Sonochemistry. Additionally, he has applied for numerous patents, two of which have been awarded and are now licensed to separate spinout companies in the USA and UK.
