Project Dissemination (2010-Present)

The most common methods for disseminating the research in ultrasonics is through presentation at conferences and publication of research papers. The use of a group-specific web site, such as this, is also a valuable dissemination tool that enables those unable to attend conferences or without access to the relevant journals, such as students and general practitioners, to gain an insight into our work.

Research dissemination made possible through EPSRC Research Grants

• EP/F020090 (University of Birmingham)
