Bio of Richard Lopata

Richard G. P. Lopata received the M.Sc. degree in biomedical engineering from the Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e), Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in 2004, and the Ph.D. degree from Radboudumc, Nijmegen, The Netherlands, in 2010, with a focus on 2-D and 3-D ultrasound strain imaging: methods and in vivo applications. He has been an Associate Professor at TU/e, heading the Photoacoustics and Ultrasound Laboratory Eindhoven (PULS/e lab) since 2014. The PULS/e lab facilitates research on technology development in the areas of ultrasound functional imaging, photoacoustics, and image-based modeling aimed to facilitate in and/or improve clinical decision-making for cardiovascular, musculoskeletal, and abdominal applications. In recent years he made it his mission to move away from conventional ultrasound using a single handheld transducer to more sophisticated and complex imaging geometries that allow for semi-tomographic, high quality imaging of e.g. the abdomen.
