Professor J. Henrique Lopes leads the Acoustic and applications research group in the Federal University of Alagoas. This research group was founded in 2020 and has 4 academic members of staff, 7 undergraduate, 2 master degrees and 1 Phd students. He has experience in acoustic radiation force and torque generated by ultrasound fields and its applications in acoustic tweezers and acoustic levitation. Recently he has worked in the subwavelength focusing beam generation using spherical objects like lenses to high resolution ultrasound imaging. Furthermore, a new research interest has emerged in the group about high power transducers for applications in bio-antifouling. Currently, is an effective member of the Postgraduate programme of the Physical Institute at Federal University of Alagoas.
