Hermes Arytto Salles Kamimura

Hermes received his Ph.D. in Physics Applied to Medicine and Biology from University of São Paulo, Brazil (2016). He conducted part of his graduate research projects in the Department of Biomedical Engineering and Physiology of Mayo Clinic, USA (6 months, 2010) and at the Department of Biomedical Engineering of Columbia University, USA (1 year, 2014-15). He worked as a research engineer during 18 months at CEA, France (2016-2017) and as an associate research scientist at Columbia University. Currently, he is a Clinical R&D Specialist - Neurosurgery (Americas) at Insightec. He received awards for the best presentation in 2017 at the 6th Winter School on Therapeutic Ultrasound, Les Houches, France, the best poster in the field of Medical Physics in 2015 XXXVIII ENFMC Brazilian Physical Society Meeting, Foz do Iguaçú, Brazil, the best poster in 2014 Kavli Futures Symposium: The Novel Neurotechnologies, NY, USA, and the best Ph.D. dissertation in the field of Medical Physics given by the Brazilian Physical Society. He is a member of IEEE, Brazilian Society of Physics, Biomedical Engineering Brazilian Society, IEEE Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control Society, and Acoustical Society of America. He has experience in acoustic simulations and in the development of experimental setups (software, electronics and mechanical designs) for pre-clinical (phantoms, mice and non-human primates) and clinical studies. He is interested in the development of non-invasive focused ultrasound techniques for neurological and oncological applications. (Source: Lattes Curriculum)
