Ultrasonic Device Laboratory

―

Creation of innovative value through acoustic engineering

Ultrasonic technology holds potential in medicine, engineering, and chemistry, being used in actuators, disease treatment, chemical reactions, and cellular control. However, many unknown phenomena remain, requiring precise control of powerful ultrasound. Our laboratory aims to address these challenges and solve societal issues through both fundamental and applied ultrasonic research.
