I am Honorary Professor of Biomedical Ultrasound in the Department of Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering at University College London (UCL). My research sits at the interface between physical acoustics, biomedical ultrasound, numerical methods, and high-performance computing. In particular, I am interested in developing fast and accurate models of how ultrasound waves travel through the human body. This involves studying many interesting acoustic phenomena from a physical perspective, and then devising novel ways in which these can be captured by a numerical model. Much of my work has been released as an open-source acoustics toolbox for MATLAB called k-Wave.

My current research projects are related to therapeutic applications of ultrasound in the brain. The goals of this work are to: (1) develop a novel hardware platform for targeted ultrasonic neuromodulation in the deep brain, (2) to develop fast predictive models that can be used for treatment planning based on deep learning, and (3) to develop a regulatory compliant clinical user interface for the software. I work with a multidisciplinary team, and actively collaborate with researchers from a range of backgrounds, including mathematics, physics, computer science, radiology, haematology, oncology, and neurology.
