- "For the first time, we used image processing methods to design acoustic metamaterials: a class of devices generating 3000 papers/year since 2016. For the first time, we demonstrated that metamaterial design is not a trial-and-error process, but that 16 pre-defined shapes, which can be assembled like LEGO bricks, are sufficient to describe even complex pressure fields with high precision. We demonstrated for the first-time loss-less phase compression and discretization of sound fields using image processing techniques. The idea has been patented (WO2018146489A1) and led to a spin-out (Metasonixx [1]). Field-weighted citation impact 7.49 (Scopus) and Altmetric score 253.
