He has more than 15 years of experience designing and developing professional implementations.

Georges Charpak was born in Dabrovica, Poland, in 1924 and became a French citizen in 1946.

He studied in Montpellier and Paris. He received his BSc in Engineering in 1946. He holds a PhD in Physics (including experimental research in nuclear physics )from the Collège de France.

Georges worked at the CNRS from 1948 to 1959, before moving to CERN at Geneva. In 1984 he was awarded the Joliot-Curie Professor at the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie of Paris.

In 1992 Georges Charpak was awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for the development of particle detectors, specialising in the multiwire proportional chamber, an elegant and economical solution to a complex problem.

His pioneering work came in 1968, when he realized the importance of connecting the detector directly to a computer, enabling researchers to record the trajectories of particles with great accuracy and in much larger numbers compared with previous techniques.

He has created many new types of detector that have played a fundamental role in the subnuclear physics of the past twenty years and in the development of new imaging techniques using ionizing and beta radiation recently adopted in medicine and biology.

Georges Charpak has received many international awards and honors, including the Paul Ricard Prize of the Societé Française de Physique in 1980, the Prize from the Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique de l'Académie des Sciences in 1984 and the High Energy and Particle Physics Prize awarded by the European Physical Society in 1989.

He is a member of the Académie Française des Sciences and an honory member of the National Academy of Sciences in the United States, the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

Mathias Fink is a Professor of Physics at the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie Industrielles de la Ville de Paris (ESPCI) and  Paris 7 University (Denis Diderot), France.

In 1990 he founded the laboratory Ondes et Acoustique at ESPCI. In 2002, he was elected to the French Academy of Engineering and in 2003 to the French Academy of Science.

Mathias Fink’s mian area of research is concerned with the propagation of waves in complex media and the development of numerous instruments based on this research.

The areas of interest of these instruments is vast: medical imaging and therapy, underwater acoustics, seismology, non-destructive testing, telecommunications, tactile screens and instrumentation. He had a long history of collaboration with industry.

He works with companies in a wide variety of sectors (medical, aeronautics, underwater acoustics, nuclear, metallurgy, instrumentation).

Mathias Fink pioneered many innovative approaches as “time-reversal mirrors” or “transient elastography”. He holds more than 30 patents and he has published more than 300 papers.

Jeremy Bercoff worked as a research engineer at Philips Medical System during 1999 and from 2001 to 2004. His research position involved research into new ultrasound beam-forming strategies and functional ultrasound imaging such as vector color doppler and elasticity imaging.

In 2001, he received an engineering degree from the Ecole Supérieure de Physique et de Chimie de Paris (ESPCI) with a specialization in Physics.

In 2004, Jeremy received a Ph.D. in physics (acoustics) from the University of Paris  for his work on ultrafast imaging and shear wave propagation in soft tissues for cancer detection.

After a post-doctoral position at the Laboratoire Ondes et Acoustique,Paris in 2005, he joined SuperSonic Imagine as a key ultrasound engineer leading the development and implementation of the Shear Wave Elastography mode.
