Co-founder of eMyosound

Scientific coordinator INSERM ART (Accélérateur de Recherche Technologique “Ultrasons biomédicaux”)

Scientific leader quantification and ultrasound biomarkers

I am a world-leading expert in 3D ultrafast ultrasound imaging and the inventor of multi-lens ultrasound technology. My work bridges ultrasound physics and clinical translation, with a focus on large–field-of-view 3D/4D imaging. I am PI of an ERC Starting Grant “MicroflowLife”, co-founder of eMyosound, and my current objective is the clinical translation of 4D ULM and cardiac shear wave elastography.
