Noé Jiménez
Senior Scientist at CSIC
Institute of Instrumentation for Molecular Imaging (I3M)
CSIC · Universitat Politècnica de València
I study how to control acoustic waves in complex media, with applications in therapeutic ultrasound, biomedical imaging and acoustic metamaterials.
I lead the holograms for ultrasound team at I3M. My research career includes CNRS, Juan de la Cierva and Ramón y Cajal appointments.
