Back to original languageAbout Paul
Doctor-engineer and co-founder of SCIAP, an engineering firm specializing in biomedical ultrasound. I assist healthcare industry players, laboratories, and MedTech startups in developing their ultrasound devices, from feasibility studies to preclinical validation.
My specialty: designing complete medical ultrasound systems. This requires mastering the entire technical chain: transducers and acoustics, RF electronics, embedded firmware (C, STM32, FreeRTOS), application software (C++, Qt, Python), integration and debugging, all while adhering to medical device regulatory constraints (IEC 62304, IEC 60601, ISO 13485).
My background combines research and industry: a PhD at LabTAU (Inserm U1032) on a cardiac HIFU probe, followed by being the first engineer at the startup VeinSound, where I brought an ultrasound device to the clinical phase.
SCIAP is CIR & CII accredited: my services are eligible for Research and Innovation Tax Credits for my clients.
Areas of expertise: HIFU and ultrasound therapy · ultrasound imaging · acoustic characterization and metrology · embedded electronics and software · transducer optimization.
