Areas of Interest
I have a background in MR pulse sequence design and programming for a variety of applications including blood flow imaging and fMRI. My current research focuses broadly on improved methods for 3D fMRI (collaboration with EECS at U-M); achieving more reproducible research results across sites using open MR pulse programming (collaboration with Medical University of Vienna); “zoomed” MRI for improved spatio-temporal resolution which can be applied to a variety of translational applications (collaboration with U-M Radiology); and quantitative MRI with a focus on MWF mapping (collaboration with EECS at U-M). Common technical themes in my work are 3D tailored RF pulse design, inner-volume imaging, artifact reduction in steady-state (e.g., RF-spoiled or balanced SSFP) imaging, and vendor-agnostic MR pulse programming.
