My name’s Pat Marty and I develop software tools in the field of acoustics. Most of my work is focused around:

Numerical wave physics

Medical ultrasound imaging

Non-destructive testing

Finite-element modeling

High-performance computing

The software tools I develop are used to model how sound waves move through different materials. This information is used to create images of the internal structures of a particular medium.

I’m currently an R&D engineer at the ETH Spin-off Mondaic AG (in Zurich, Switzerland), where I work in a team developing the spectral-element solver called Salvus. This software is extremely efficient for solving wave propagation problems at scale and it is being used in fields ranging from planetary seismology to medical ultrasound.
