Juancito van Leeuwen joined ImPhys as MSc student

Juancito will help to engineer periodic assemblies of gas vesicles (called phononic crystals) that, if successful, could serve as improved contrast agents for functional ultrasound imaging or be used in 3D ultrasound imaging. His supervisor is David Maresca.

This academic year he will be in the third and final year of his double masters degree in Nanobiology and Biomedical Engineering. He started his master’s thesis in the Biomolecular Ultrasound Imaging lab of David Maresca. Together with the lab of Valeria Garbin (ChemE) Juancito will help to engineer periodic assemblies of gas vesicles (called phononic crystals) that, if successful, could serve as improved contrast agents for functional ultrasound imaging or be used in 3D ultrasound imaging.
