San Diego State University awarded 2025 Chapter Research Award.

Zone and Chapter: San Diego State University, Zone 18

Project

Project Name: Ultrasound Field Reconstruction Using Tomographic Schlieren Imaging

Project Leaders: Faith Poutoa

Chapter Advisors: Matthew Anderson

Project Description: San Diego State University’s SPS chapter introduces a tomographic Schlieren imaging technique to
visualize 3D sound fields. A Schlieren imaging system’s LED is synched with a 40kHz sound wave, producing 2D projections of the wave from multiple angles, which are combined to reconstruct the sound field’s 3D shape.
