Baptiste Heiles joined ImPhys as PostDoc
Baptiste Heiles was born in France in 1990. He received the M.Sc. degree in general and civil engineering from Ecole Normale Superieure Paris Saclay, Cachan, France, in 2013, the agrégation de Sciences Industrielles degree in 2014, and the Master of Research degree in fluid mechanics and heat transfers from Ecole Centrale de Paris, Châtenay-Malabry, France, in 2015.
During his PhD under supervision by Dr Olivier Couture, he focused on exploiting contrast agents for imaging and implementing ultrasound localization microscopy (ULM) in volumetric imaging as well as improving ULM in conventional 2-D imaging. Thanks to the development of 3D ULM, he managed to image the whole rat brain microvasculature in vivo with a resolution down to a dozen of microns and provide anatomical and haemodynamic insight of the brain's function.
As a post-doc researcher in the Maresca Lab, he will work on fast volumetric imaging of gas vesicles, the first genetically encoded contrast agents for ultrasound imaging.
