Biography

Paul Prentice is a Senior Lecturer in Systems Power and Energy at the University of Glasgow. His research focuses on developing a fundamental understanding of acoustic cavitation and bubble activity propelled by ultrasound. This work examines the violent dynamics of bubbles in liquid or tissue that interact strongly with pressure fluctuations of an ultrasound field. By employing ultra-fast framing cameras to image cavitation dynamics and a range of devices to acoustically detect bubble activity, he aims to develop control strategies for harnessing the power of cavitation in both medical and industrial applications. Prentice has been involved in several significant projects, including leading initiatives on ultrasonic processing and the critical recycling of photovoltaic modules. His interdisciplinary approach bridges mechanical engineering and applied physics, making contributions to the realm of effective therapeutic ultrasound applications. Prentice is also actively engaged in supervising PhD students and postdoctoral researchers, sharing his expertise in advanced ultrasonics and vibration mechanics.
