Since 2019, I have chaired several one-week “summer schools” on acoustic waves and transducers, all over the world. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Acoustical imaging is based on two fundamental pillars: waves and transducers. The waves are essential to probe the interior of the human body, a metal structure or the earth whereas the transducers are essential to generate and receive the acoustic waves. Our topical school is built around those two pillars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lectures are at an advanced physics and engineering level. They will cover topics related to wave propagation (ranging from acoustic field equations to full-wave forminversion), and materials and transducers (ranging from piezoceramics and piezocrystals through to miniaturized high-frequency matrix transducers for integration with electronics).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By combining theory with simple hands-on practical work using computers, instrumentation and piezoelectric materials, the students will gain significant understanding about the foundations of medical ultrasound and other related applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
