Biography

Mania Samiotaki was born in July 1986 in Athens, Greece. She received her diploma in Electrical and Computer Engineering in 2009, and majored in Electronics, Systems and Signals. During her undergraduate studies she did volunteer research on biomedical image processing and simulation of physiological systems. In fall 2009, she enrolled in Columbia University's M.S./Ph.D. program in Biomedical Engineering. Her research interests include non-invasive, localized delivery of drugs and potential therapeutic agents using ultrasound.
