In this project I will shed light on the physical mechanisms defining the interaction between ultrasound (US) waves and lung tissue. This knowledge gain will be instrumental for reinventing how we diagnose and monitor lung diseases and for developing a cost-effective, transportable, bedside available, real-time and safe solution. Lung diseases have a large impact worldwide. Pneumonia is the largest infectious cause of death in children. COVID-19, COPD and lower respiratory infections are the 2nd, 4th and 5th leading causes of death, causing over 14 million deaths per year.
