We are proud to share that our lab member Shahriar has received the Horn Distinguished Professors Graduate Achievement Award at Texas Tech University. This award recognizes graduate students who have already demonstrated significant research accomplishments in their disciplines and who represent some of the outstanding scholars being cultivated at Texas Tech. This year, only two students across the university were selected for this honor, and Shahriar is the only recipient fr

Our recent work, led by Shahriar Mostufa, titled “ Wet Ball Milling Synthesis of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for High-Efficiency, Controllable Magnetic Hyperthermia in Ovarian Cancer ,” has been published in Advanced Materials Technologies. In this study, we develop a simple, scalable, and cost-effective mechanochemical (wet ball milling) approach to synthesize iron oxide magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) for biomedical applications. By systematically tuning milling conditions, we d

We are excited to share that three research papers from the Wu Lab were published and a new patent application was filed on the same day, highlighting recent progress in our research on magnetic nanoparticles, magnetic imaging systems, and magnetic sensing technologies. Paper 1 " Computational design of a 3D magnetic particle imaging (MPI) prototype " Led by Shahriar Mostufa, this work presents a finite-element simulation framework for designing a 3D MPI system capable of fi

Congratulations to the authors on their new review article titled " Magnetic Nanoparticles for Cancer Theranostics ", published in Biomedical Physics & Engineering Express, led by former lab member Jaiden Hart (now at the University of Wisconsin–Madison) in collaboration with the laboratories of Dr. Rui He and Dr. Jenifer Gomez-Pastora. We are also proud to recognize the contribution of high school researcher Hansong Zuo. This article reviews recent advances in magnetic nanop

The Wu Lab successfully participated in the WCOE 2026 Research Day, showcasing several research advances through poster presentations. Posters from the Wu Lab “A Systematic Framework for Harmonic Set Selection in Multiplexed Magnetic Particle Spectroscopy,” presented by Hanlei. “Scalable Wet Ball Milling of Iron Oxide Nanoparticles for Efficient and Controllable Magnetic Hyperthermia,” presented by Shahriar. “Shape- and Cation-Engineered Ferrite Nanoparticles for Theranostic
