Mathias FINK

Mathias FINK is a Professor at ESPCI Paris on the Georges Charpak chair. His research focuses on fundamental wave physics in complex media with major applications in medical imaging, telecommunications, and geophysics. He pioneered time-reversal mirrors for wave focusing and co-founded 6 technology companies.

• Key Institutions: ESPCI Paris, Collège de France
• Research Themes: Wave physics, time-reversal techniques, matrix imaging, metasurface design

His work spans multi-echo wave systems, ultrasonic therapeutic devices, and adaptive electromagnetic communication systems. Recent publications emphasize 3D matrix imaging in biological tissues and space-time interface dynamics.

Scientific recognition includes:

• First academic elected at Collège de France (2008)
• Over 400 peer-reviewed publications
• 70+ patents and 6 start-ups

Collaborations extend to Institut des Hautes Études Scientifiques, Langevin Institute, and Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. His team's volcanic imaging work with seismic noise has revolutionized subterranean mapping.
