Projects & Research

Receive front-end architectures spanning digitization through beamforming: reconfigurable FPGA beamforming cores, apodization that adapts to reflector directivity, and neural beamformer accelerators for portable systems.

Additive-manufactured acoustic masks for beam shaping — enabling novel apodization profiles and custom transducer aperture configurations beyond conventional element layouts.

Conformable flexible array designs for imaging curved anatomical surfaces — enabling hands-free continuous monitoring and ergonomic wearable ultrasound.

Acoustic field and imaging simulations using k-Wave, Field-II, and SIMUS — modeling wave propagation, pressure fields, and full synthetic aperture sequences for algorithm development and system validation.

Specular beamforming, adaptive beamformers for improved contrast and resolution, and reconfigurable beamforming architectures for high frame-rate plane wave imaging.

Neural networks that reproduce adaptive beamforming in a single forward pass: from CNNs learning minimum variance and models that train during acquisition, to tunable multibeamformers, learned gain compensation and RL-tuned apertures on edge hardware.

Multi-perspective compounding and volumetric reconstruction from 2D array data — enabling full 3D visualization of anatomy for improved spatial situational awareness.

360-degree panoramic reconstruction from 18 calibrated views using a low-cost 3D-printed circular track, U-Net segmentation, and SSIM-based optimization registration.

Wavefront distortion correction for imaging through heterogeneous tissue layers — restoring focus quality and spatial resolution degraded by near-field aberrators.

Orthogonal linear array beamforming for real-time underwater 3-D acoustical imaging: replacing 576-element planar arrays with 47 hydrophones via product beamforming, sparse synthesis, and k-Wave validated simulation.

End-to-end AI pipeline for lung ultrasound analysis — automated B-line detection, A/B pattern classification, and scoring for COVID-19 and ILD diagnosis at point of care.

Real-time needle visualization for ultrasound-guided biopsies, nerve blocks, and regional anaesthesia: transmission physics of specular reflections, reflection tuned beamforming, and directivity feedback with unmodified needles.

Bone probability maps, deep learning beamformers, and domain-aware image translation for pediatric bone visualization, fracture detection, and hip dysplasia screening at point of care.

Acoustic sensing of muscle deformation and activity for human-machine interfaces — enabling intuitive prosthetic control and gesture recognition from ultrasound tissue motion.

Ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) with microbubble tracking for imaging microvasculature at resolution beyond the acoustic diffraction limit — mapping capillary-scale blood flow.
