Academic Achievements
- Published several papers on MRI techniques and their applications, such as:
- - Detection of respiration-induced field modulations in fMRI: A concurrent and navigator-free approach
- - Multi-echo dipole inversion for magnetic susceptibility mapping
- - Orientation dependence of R2 relaxation in the newborn brain
- - Quantitative myelin imaging with MRI and PET: an overview of techniques and their validation status
- - Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging reflects different levels of histologically determined myelin densities in multiple sclerosis, including remyelination in inactive multiple sclerosis lesions
- - Recovering SWI-filtered phase data using deep learning
- - DECAES – DEcomposition and Component Analysis of Exponential Signals
- - Myelin water imaging depends on white matter fiber orientation in the human brain
Research Experience
- A team of MRI scientists working on the development of new imaging techniques and the investigation of magnetic resonance signal generation in biological tissues. Collaborates with researchers from the departments of Physics and Astronomy, Pediatrics, Radiology, Neurology, Pathology, and internationally.
Background
- Research interests include the development of new imaging techniques and the investigation of magnetic resonance signal generation in biological tissues. Specific interests are MR signal formation in the presence of magnetically inhomogeneous tissues, such as nerve fibres or blood vessels, and the application of new MRI techniques to the investigation of tissue damage and repair in brain injury due to preterm birth, multiple sclerosis, and traumatic brain injury.
Miscellany
- Developed the DECAES software tool for rapid myelin water and luminal water analysis. Also has a gas control system (RespirAct™, Thornhill Medical) that allows mapping cerebrovascular reactivity using MRI scanners.
