Research interests

Paul's current research is aimed at developing a fundamental understanding of acoustic cavitation, that is bubble activity, driven by ultrasound.

This is an extremely energetic, often violent phenomenon, as bubbles in a liquid (or tissue) interact strongly with the pressure fluctuations of an ultrasound field.

We use ultra-fast framing cameras to image cavitation dynamics, and a range of devices to acoustically detect (listen to) the activity.

Ultimately, we hope to develop control strategies, automated and in real time (sub-millisecond), to harness the power of cavitation for medical and industrial applications.

In summary, if it's a bubble, Paul is interested!
