The Master's/Engineering student will be responsible for getting the 3D ultrasound navigation platform up and running again and helping to improve it. The student will also investigate new HIFU treatment planning for achieving full conformal ablations of HCC volumes. First, the student will investigate the theoretical feasiblity, by carrying out numerical HIFU modeling (Rayleigh integral, heat transfer equation in biological tissues for thermal therapy) using CIVA software. Finally, the student will assist the team to investigate experimentally the feasibility of conformal HIFU therapies in an in-vitro liver model. In case of success, the student could participate to in vivo investigations at the end of his/her project. The Master's/Engineering student will be working with two PhD students, one being a biomedical engineer and the other an interventional radiologist. A Researcher Associate will supervise the work.

The overall project aims to develop a network of highly sensitive, wireless, and autonomous sensors to monitor physiological parameters, such as heart rate, glucose levels, or neuronal activity, in real time. While many similar sensors have been developed, few have been successfully applied in clinical settings due to challenges such as reliability, patient discomfort, and the potential for allergic or inflammatory responses. The goal is to overcome these barriers through the creation of miniaturized, comfortable, and wearable biosensors. Preliminary work has shown the potential of using an ultrasonic transceiver to measure physiological activity indirectly through the measurement of a piezoelectric element. The project's core is to evaluate the feasibility of simultaneously measuring electrical potentials variations on multiple transducers, using beamforming techniques, to indicate neuronal activity.
