About me

Welcome to my acoustics page !

I'm Noé Jiménez, born in Albacete (Spain) in 1984. I was graduated with a B.Sc. in Telecommunications Engineering (2007) and M.Sc. in Acoustics (2010) at Polytechnic University of Valencia (Spain). In 2015 I obtained a Ph.D. degree at Polytechnic University of Valencia [UPV] for my work on Nonlinear Acoustic Waves in Complex Media.

During this period I was visiting researcher at Columbia University (New York City, USA) where I join the Ultrasound and Elasticity Imaging Laboratory [UEIL] to work on nonlinear acoustics computational methods for ultrasound elasticity imaging and therapy under the supervision of Dr. Elisa E. Konofagou.

In September 2015 I enrolled the French CNRS at the Laboratoire d'Acoustique de l'Université du Maine [LAUM], UMR 6613 CNRS (Le Mans, France) for a post-doctoral research contract in acoustic metamaterials in the audible regime under the supervision of Jean-Philippe Groby and Vicent Romero-García. The contract was funded by the Agence Nationale de la Recherche (ANR) through project "MetAudible" ANR-13-BS09-0003.

In October 2016 I was visiting researcher at the University of Salford under the supervision of Prof. Trevor J. Cox to develop ultrathin sound diffusers (Read paper here!). The stay was funded by the European Cooperation in Science and Technology (COST) through project "DENORMS" (Designs for Noise Reducing Materials and Structures) (CA-15125).

In September 2017 I joined the Institute of Instrumentation for Molecular Imaging (I3M) of the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) for a post-doctoral position for research on acoustic metamaterials for biomedical ultrasound applications. The contract was funded by Generalitat Valenciana and European Social Fund through grant APOSTD/2017/42 and was awarded with a "Juan de la Cierva - Formación" grant (FJCI-2016-29430).

In September 2019, I continued at Institute of Instrumentation for Molecular Imaging (I3M) under a (tenured) postdoc position funded by the Spanish Ministry through grant "Juan de la Cierva - Incorporación" (IJC2018-037897-I).

In January 2022, I obtained a "Ramón y Cajal" (tenured) postdoc position funded by the Spanish Ministry of Science grant (RYC2021-034920-I).

In November 2022, I obtained a Senior Scientist position ("Científico Titular") at the Spanish National Research Council (CSIC) to lead the biomedical ultrasound group at Institute of Instrumentation for Molecular Imaging (I3M).

Watch it!

See the Earth from the skies in real time, through the streamming provided by the International Space Station. ISS is about 400 km from Earth and it complete an orbit to the earth in about 90 mins!


Broadcast live streaming video on Ustream

The feed will sometimes go down as the signal switches between the cameras, and it is hard to see when the ISS is on the dark side of the planet. If the cameras are down, the screen will be gray. See where is the ISS with the ESA tracker.
