Stein Fekkes

Hi, my name is Stein, I am a staff scientist within the Focused Ultrasound Initiative, supporting campus-wide research on Low-Intensity Focused Ultrasound for neuromodulation. My role ranges from ensuring the quality assurance of equipment to developing a novel metrology system that meets researchers' needs for executing their experiments in a safe and reliable manner.As a medical engineer by training, I have a strong passion for ultrasound applications. In the past, I conducted research on 3D carotid elastography using ultrasound imaging techniques to assess the carotid artery and help classify plaque vulnerability. After gaining experience in a systems engineering role in the industry, I now consider myself one of the lucky ones working alongside an inspiring team of highly motivated individuals, all driven by a single goal: advancing the field of neuromodulation using ultrasound.(Sounds good, right? ... Ultrasound!)
