- Research offered a novel design for a 3D fractal-like piezoelectric ultrasonic transducer and the mathematical modelling thereof. This theoretical research contributed to developments in theoretical modelling, which led to finite-element modelling and creation of prototype. This prototype realised 105.1% transmission bandwidth improvement, and 32.9% reception bandwidth improvement, over commercial transducers. Led to further developments in Electronic and Electrical Engineering (H. Fang, Novel ultrasonic transducers and array designs using self-similar fractal geometries, 2019).
