Project Description

The ultrasound team is looking for a master's / doctoral / post-doc candidate around issues related to the field of Non-Destructive Testing of Industrial Structures and Processes by non-contact ultrasonic imaging.

Aeronautical and civil robotic inspection applications are considered using air-coupled ultrasonic probe arrays.We are looking for a wide variety of profiles who may have a strong interest or expertise in one or more of the following areas:
- Acoustics and vibrations (theoretical)
- Digital signal processing and simulation (Matlab / python)
- Multi-physical system modeling (COMSOL)
- Mechanical physics and wave propagation in general 
- Micromachining and transducer assembly

The student will be integrated into the GAUS ultrasound team, which includes 3 professors and a set of infrastructures unique in Canada (3D scanning vibrometer, ultrasound imaging systems, rapid prototyping, air-coupled probes). Stimulating environment guaranteed!
