==Our Activities==
 +
 
 +
At IIS, we are exploring the next generation of medical ultrasound system. Our Flagship projects are:
 +
* '''LightABVS:''' a high-end ultrasound probe, evolution of LightProbe, which incorporates 192 channels and communicates with a host PC via two 100G Ethernet optical links
 +
* '''USdot:''' a reduced number of channels (32), compact, wireless probe for wearable applications
 +
* '''WULPUS:''' an ultra-low power (20mW) probe for long-term monitoring
 +
 
 +
We focus our ultrasound system developments on the challenges posed by high-speed acquisition and the resulting front-end data rates. Our main goals include the efficient processing and transmission of this data off-head. In addition, we are actively working on developing strategies to manage the power and thermal constraints of these devices. Furthermore, we strive to offer wearable solutions as well as alternatives to the traditional bulky and rigid system designs.

 +
 
 +
* '''Hardware Development'''
 +
** Implementation of processing subunits: Hardware design FPGA/ASIC (VHDL/HLS)
 +
** PCB Design (Altium, Ansys SIwave)
 +
 
 +
* '''Physical Characterization and Electro-Mechanical Testbeds'''
 +
** Design of physiological experiments and data analyses (Python)
 +
** Characterization and Testing (ADS Keysight/Spice/PCB Design/C/Python/Matlab)
 +
 
 +
* '''Ultrasound Signal Processing and ML'''
 +
** Machine Learning (Python, MCU, FPGA)
 +

Carotid artery extraction via wearable ultrasound

Our Activities

At IIS, we are exploring the next generation of medical ultrasound system. Our Flagship projects are:

  • LightABVS: a high-end ultrasound probe, evolution of LightProbe, which incorporates 192 channels and communicates with a host PC via two 100G Ethernet optical links
  • USdot: a reduced number of channels (32), compact, wireless probe for wearable applications
  • WULPUS: an ultra-low power (20mW) probe for long-term monitoring

We focus our ultrasound system developments on the challenges posed by high-speed acquisition and the resulting front-end data rates. Our main goals include the efficient processing and transmission of this data off-head. In addition, we are actively working on developing strategies to manage the power and thermal constraints of these devices. Furthermore, we strive to offer wearable solutions as well as alternatives to the traditional bulky and rigid system designs.

All projects are annotated with one or more possible project types (M/S/B/G) and a number of students (1 to 3).

  • M: Master's thesis: 26 weeks full-time (6 months) for one student only
  • S: Semester project: 14 weeks half-time (1 semester lecture period) or 7 weeks full-time for 1-3 students
  • B: Bachelor's thesis: 14 weeks half-time (1 semester lecture period) for one student only
