We are deeply saddened by the passing of Kevin J. Parker, a pioneer in ultrasound imaging. As Dr. Diane Dalecki shared, “He was a brilliant scientist, inventor, teacher, and a wonderfully kind and generous person.” His legacy will endure.
With heavy hearts, we share the news that Kevin Parker, the William F. May Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences at #URochester, died in late December at the age of 71. He was a pioneer in the field of ultrasound imaging and a revered faculty member. www.rochester.edu/newscenter/k...
