From hardware to algorithms: an end-to-end researcher in ultrasonics
I am an end-to-end researcher with a background in electronics engineering, focusing on the development of tools and enabling technologies for ultrasound-based manipulation, stimulation, modulation, and advanced imaging. My work spans the full research pipeline—from hardware system design to algorithm development for both imaging and therapy—and includes custom ultrasound stimulators, advanced imaging systems, and novel acoustic hologram generation algorithms with their experimental implementation, aiming to deliver precise and scalable ultrasound tools for neuroscience and healthcare research.
