Wavefront shaping for ultrasound micromanipulation in scattering media, with Prof. Romain Fleury.
About
I am a postdoctoral researcher at EPFL, working on wavefront shaping for ultrasound imaging and micromanipulation in scattering media.
My research lies at the intersection of acoustics, wave physics, signal processing, and biomedical ultrasound. I am interested in using waves both to image and control complex systems.
During my PhD at the Physics for Medicine laboratory in ESPCI Paris - PSL, advised by Dr. Mathieu Pernot and Dr. Guillaume Goudot, I developed volumetric Doppler imaging, contrast-enhanced ultrasound and ultrasound localization microscopy methods for vascular imaging.
Since July 2026, my work with Prof. Romain Fleury at the Laboratory of Wave Engineering (LWE) at EPFL has focused on recovering precise acoustic control and images through scattering environments.
Research interests
- Wavefront shaping. Controlling acoustic propagation through strongly scattering media by measuring and shaping complex wavefronts.
- Ultrasonic micromanipulation. Designing focused acoustic fields for precise, contactless manipulation of microscopic objects in complex environments.
- Volumetric ultrasound imaging. Developing fast and flexible 3D and 3D+time ultrasound methods with row-column arrays and other wide-field probes.
- Doppler imaging. Creating novel Doppler estimation algorithms or clutter filtering techniques
- Super-resolution ultrasound. Developing and applying ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM), null subtraction imaging (NSI),...
